Origin of the name:
This region has two names because itis composed
by two separate regions: the southern part is Trentino that takes its
name from the chief town, that is Trento, from the Latin Tridentum (ancient
town hall) and the part northern Tall Adige, call so because it is situated in
the basin of the superior course of this river. South Tirol is the German name
of tall Adige because up to 1918 this region belonged to Austrian territory of
Tirol. Subsequently the region was called Venice Tridentina up to 1948, year
when taken the actual name.
Other valleys to remember are: Val of Sun, Val Pusteria
and the Val di Non crossed by the river Noce, Valleys of Cembra, Valley
of Fiemme and Val of Fassa crossed from the river Avisio, Val Sugana crossed by
Brenta and Val Gardena.
The passes that put Trentino Tall Adige in communication with Austria, are
Footstep of Resia, Footstep of Dobbiaco and that of Brennero. Between Lombardy
and Trentino-tall Adige there are Footstep of Stelvio and the footstep of
Tonale. Footstep Pordoi and Footstep Rolle put in communication the Region with
Veneto.
Agriculture - Stock-farm -
Fishing:
The principal products that are cultivated in the
valleys, are: potatoes, vegetables and fruit trees (cherries, plum trees and
above all apple trees). There are vineyards that damns excellent wines, some of
which very appreciated. Trentino Tall Adige is one of the woodiest regions in
Italy: there are above all larici, red firs, woodland pines and beech trees.
Industry - Tourism:
One of the greatest wealths is the abundance of
hydroelectric basins. Besides Trentino-tall Adige, producing superior energy to
the regional requirement, exports in the other regions. Some handicraft
workmanships as that of the carved wood and of the furniture, are typical in
Trentino-tall Adige. To underline more still the natural beauties of this
Region, the man has contributed building what was necessary to be able to
appreciate them mostly: hotel organization, shelters alpine and numerous
stations of vacation winter and summer that are the resources of great wealth
of the country. We remember some of the most important: Stelvio, Ortisei,
Madonna of Campiglio, Dobbiaco, Predazzo and Canazei.
Position and Frontier:
This region is that situated more to north of Italy.
Its territory is set in the southern part of a line of the oriental Alps and
contains the mountain basin of Adige. To north it confines with Switzerland and
with Austria where the political confinements also coincide, to east it
confines with Veneto, to south with Veneto and Lombardy and to west with
Lombardy.
Climate:
The climate of this Region is very rigid in the months
winter and fresh in the summer periods. During the winter there are abundant
and frequent snowfalls, while in spring and autumn often rains.
Population:
In Trentino Tall Adige two ethnic groups that speak two
different languages cohabit. In the province of Trento is spoken Italian
while in the province of Bolzano it usually speaks each other the German and
really for this motive, the bilingualism is in force. The German language, so,
has recognized officially and it is used together with that Italian. In some
valleys of mountain of Trentino, Ladino has spread, that is a language that
derives from Latin but different from Italian. This region is one of less
inhabited; the mountain, especially in Trentino, extend to
depopulate and the inhabitants are assembled in the valleys very more where
there are more possibilities of job.
Communication:
The principal street of communication is Valley of
Adige that from Lowland Padana brings in Austria and in southern Germany
through Brennero; this valley is long that pass the principal railway lines
(Verona-Trento-Bolzano-Brennero), the highway Verona Brennero and the
government Verona Brennero.
