Graun - Curon Venosta: Bergstation Rojensesselbahn
Graun-Curon Venosta has served as a farming community in Upper Vinschgau since the Middle Ages. Near the Reschen Pass in South Tyrol, it occupies an Alpine borderland shaped by both German- and Italian-speaking traditions. The municipality is closely associated with Lake Resia, a reservoir created in 1950. The bell tower of the former village church rises from the water as the surviving remnant of old Graun, which was flooded for the project. Higher on the mountainside, the Schöneben-Haideralm ski area spreads across broad slopes above the valley. Lifts, pistes and mountain pastures share this elevated terrain overlooking Lake Resia and the surrounding Alpine ridges.

Graun–Curon Venosta straddles the upper Vinschgau valley beside Lake Reschen in South Tyrol, and the reservoir’s creation in 1950 forced the relocation of much of the original settlement. The solitary 14th-century bell tower of the former village church still rises from the water, an unmistakable reminder of the flooded old Graun. Near the Reschen Pass, this high Alpine municipality lies close to both Austria and Switzerland, where mountain roads, farming and winter sports shape daily life.

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.
