Deutschnofen - Nova Ponente: Obereggen - Reiterjoch 2030 m, Südtirol

Deutschnofen–Nova Ponente has served as a mountain-farming settlement in South Tyrol since the Middle Ages. The village stands on the Reggelberg plateau at about 1,350 metres, above the Eggental valley and within reach of the Dolomites. The Latemar massif and the Rosengarten–Catinaccio group define the wider alpine setting, while forests, pastures and farmsteads shape the immediate surroundings. The parish church of St Peter and Paul is a focal point in the village centre. Its paired German and Italian names reflect the bilingual identity of the autonomous province of Bolzano–South Tyrol.

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.
