Bruneck - Brunico: Kronplatz - Camera 5
Kronplatz is best known in South Tyrol for its broad, 2,275-metre summit and extensive ski area. Above Bruneck/Brunico, the mountain stands between the Puster Valley and the Dolomites, with a summit plateau developed for lifts, pistes and mountain services. Its most distinctive cultural landmark is MMM Corones, a Messner Mountain Museum designed by Zaha Hadid and devoted to traditional mountaineering. The neighbouring LUMEN Museum focuses on mountain photography. The broad upper slopes and rugged peaks around the Puster Valley give the mountain a markedly different character from the town streets below.

Bruneck Castle, founded in 1251 by Prince-Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg, dominates the old centre and now houses the Messner Mountain Museum Ripa, dedicated to the cultures of mountain peoples. The historic Stadtgasse forms the town’s traditional spine, lined with local shops and cafés. Above the valley rises Kronplatz, known in Italian as Plan de Corones, while the town’s German and Italian names reflect South Tyrol’s bilingual character.

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.
