Bruneck - Brunico: Kronplatz
The Dolomites define the setting of Kronplatz above Bruneck–Brunico — this broad, rounded summit rises from the wooded slopes of South Tyrol and opens onto the valleys around the town. Known in Italian as Plan de Corones, Kronplatz is one of the region’s principal mountain recreation areas, with lifts and pistes spreading down several sides of the mountain. The summit plateau brings contemporary architecture into an alpine setting: LUMEN, the Museum of Mountain Photography, occupies a former cable-car station, while the AlpiNN restaurant explores Alpine food culture. Bruneck–Brunico below is the administrative centre of the Puster Valley, where German and Italian are both part of everyday public life. The Dolomites form the defining southern horizon of this bilingual corner of Italy.

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.
