Schenna - Scena: Kuhleiten Richtung Mittager
Few places in South Tyrol have a history as closely tied to the legacy of Archduke John as Scena. The village lies on slopes above Merano, along the eastern side of the Passer Valley, with the Sarntal Alps rising nearby. Its position links orchards and settlement in the valley with Merano 2000, a mountain area spread across high pastures above the town. Schenna Castle, first recorded in the 14th century, was bought in 1845 by Archduke John of Austria; his mausoleum stands there. South Tyrol’s Italian and German names—Scena and Schenna—reflect the bilingual character of this Alpine province. Footpaths, cableways and mountain roads connect Merano’s urban basin with open alpine terrain.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
