Trentino-South Tyrol (German and Ladin: Trentino-Südtirol, Italian: Trentino-Alto Adige) is an autonomous Region in Northern Italy. It consists of two distinct areas, the Italian-speaking Trento and the largely German-speaking South Tyrol. The region was part of Austria-Hungary until its annexation by Italy in 1919. It was called Venezia Tridentina between 1919 and 1947.
Geography and Economy
The autonomous region is bordered by Austria to the north and by the Italian regions of Lombardy to the west and Veneto to the south. It covers 13,619 km² (5,256 mi²). It is extremely mountainous, covering a large part of the Dolomites and the southern Alps. The lowest pass across the Alps, the Brennerpass, is located at the far north of the region on the border with Austria.
The fertile valleys of Trentino-South Tyrol produce wine, fruit, dairy products and timber, while its industries include paper, chemical and metal production. The region is a major exporter of hydroelectric power. Tourism is an important source of revenue and the region is renowned for its winter skiing opportunities, especially in the Gröden-Val Gardena area.
