Molten - Meltina: Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol

Built around farming hamlets on the Salten plateau, Molten—Meltina in Italian—grew into a small South Tyrolean municipality above the Adige valley. It occupies part of the Tschögglberg upland between Bolzano and Merano, where larch meadows, woodland and pasture routes shape the settled landscape. The Church of the Assumption of Mary stands in the main village, while the surrounding plateau forms part of the traditional setting for Haflinger horses, the breed named after nearby Hafling/Avelengo. German and Italian place names reflect the bilingual character of this autonomous province. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across South Tyrol and the Salten plateau.

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is renowned across Italy for the Dolomites, whose pale limestone massifs define much of its eastern skyline. This autonomous region follows the upper Adige basin, from vineyards and apple orchards around Bolzano to high valleys crossed by glaciers and Alpine passes. Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

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.
