Schenna - Scena: Merano
Merano occupies a broad basin of the Adige Valley in South Tyrol, where the Passer joins the Adige beneath alpine slopes. Schenna (Scena) stands on the valley side above the town, amid the orchards and vineyards that shape this intensively cultivated part of northern Italy. Merano developed as a celebrated spa resort under the Habsburgs and retains an elegant civic core: the Kurhaus beside the Passer is a landmark of its late-19th- and early-20th-century resort era, while the medieval arcades of the Laubengasse run through the old town. German and Italian are both integral to local life, reflected in the town’s bilingual identity. Beyond the centre, the valley opens towards the Vinschgau and is enclosed by the Ötztal and Sarntal Alps.

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.
