The landscape of Trentino-tall
Adige is composed from enormous thick mountainous with some sparkling
glaciers where between sharp pains fogs are glimpse the valleys. From
the mountains and from the glaciers, go down abundant the waters that
have ploughed the territory in a lot of years and dug the mountains to
the point to transform these zones in wonder of the nature. There is
often a panorama of orchards and woods of coniferous, pastures and
dizzy walls of rock that lean for hundreds of meters; rivers and
savage streams roar between the rocks. |
Agriculture -

The principal products that are cultivated in the
valleys, are: potatoes, vegetables and fruit trees (cherries, plum trees and

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

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.

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),
