The Province of Bolzano-Bozen, also referred to as Alto Adige or South Tyrol, (also spelled South Tirol), is an autonomous province in northern Italy. It is one of the two provinces that make up the region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, which is itself an autonomous region. The province has an area of 7,400 square kilometres (2,857 sq mi) and a total population of more than 500,000 inhabitants. Its capital is the city of Bolzano (German: Bozen; Ladin: Balsan or Bulsan). The majority of the population speaks an Austro-Bavarian dialect of German and consider themselves ethnically Tyrolean. About a quarter of the province is Italian-speaking and a small minority speaks Ladin as their mother language. Font: Wikipedia

Congrats on the 1000 post! Your post today has put the song "Merano" from the musical Chess in my head. That's okay, I like that song.
ReplyDeleteDo you ski, Karl? I would guess, if I had to guess, that you are an excellent skier! Looks like a fun place to exercise and relax.
ReplyDeleteThe cup is fabulous. I would have bought one to take home with me.
