Imagine a region where the breathtaking Dolomites are part of the scenery at every turn.
Such is the case in Trentino-Alto Adige. Bordered almost entirely on the north by Austria, the German influence
is undeniable: culture, architecture, and lifestyle are generally more austere here than in the rest of the country, though
you can see ornate frescoes and hear Italian spoken with great regularity. Trento, the capital, is known for the famous
Council of Trent in the 16th century, which was set up by the Catholic Church to consider reforms that might
encourage breakaway groups (i.e., the German Protestants) to return to Catholicism.

the iceman: exposed!
A stunning discovery in Bolzano, Italy has turned into a marketing circus. Find out what we've learned since the discovery of Ötzi and how he lived his last day in what a long cold winter it's been.
the bubbling trentino pot
The fact that the local population originally lived in conditions of extreme poverty meant that the typical dishes of Trentino became very uniform and substantial in character. In some secluded valleys, this archaic flavour has been preserved in certain recipes, which are still in use in farm kitchens open to the public. Find out more history and recipes of Trentino-Alto Adige.
