adige

Alto Adige (South Tyrol), Which is one of the economically strongest regions of Italy.

In Italy, cities in Sudtirol - Alto Adige marked in both German and Italian.

Alto Adige is extremly wealthy, so is the North of Italy, like north of Milano, I think.

It's a completely different metaphor, and in fact the marketing adige is people will only buy things which make them healthier, happier, or richer.

Alto Adige is full of great wines to explore.

Alto Adige has fantastic and interesting other varietals.

On the other hand, Trentino-Alto Adige is one of the happiest places in Italy to both live and work, but that wage isn't going to go far in the North.

As an American, I always thought of "Italians" and "Germans" as very distinct cultures, but then you drive through Südtirol (or Alto Adige, if you're feeling Italian, the northern most province of Italy) and it feels quite Germanic.

In two border regions (namely Trentino Alto Adige for German and Val d'Aosta for French) the population speaking the "other" language is so vast that there are special provisions that make those regions "bilingual", but in Friuli Slovenian is spoken by a minority and has much less relevance.

Many Comuni (city councils) voted to leave Veneto to join nearby Trentino Alto-Adige just for this far greater autonomy.

I think I just understood where I am going to spend my next weekend:) Hello, Alto Adige!

No, apart from Alto Adige, which is an Austrian region occupied after WWI, still inhabited by Austrians, nobody has any exposure to German.
