Innichen - San Candido
Few places in South Tyrol have a history as closely tied to a monastic foundation as Innichen–San Candido. Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria established a Benedictine monastery here in 769, helping to shape settlement at the eastern end of the Puster Valley. Its successor, the Collegiate Church of Innichen, ranks among the Alps’ important Romanesque monuments, known for its robust stone form and medieval sculpture. The town stands near the Drava’s headwaters, where the broad Puster Valley meets the rugged Dolomite country of the Sexten Dolomites. German- and Italian-speaking traditions meet in local life and cuisine, giving this borderland community a distinctly South Tyrolean identity.

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.
