Civezzano: Strada Statale 47 della Valsugana

Few places in Trentino have a history as closely tied to the old route from Trento into Valsugana as Civezzano. Set on the lower slopes of Monte Calisio above the Fersina valley, the municipality marks the transition between the Adige basin and Trentino’s eastern valleys. Archaeological finds from Lombard-period burials, including the notable Civezzano grave goods, point to the settlement’s early-medieval importance. Its hamlets and cultivated slopes provide a rural counterpoint to nearby Trento, while the eastbound road still links the area with Valsugana.

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.
