History of South Tyrol

From 1363 until 1919 South Tyrol was part of the Habsburg Empire. With the Peace Treaty of St. Germain after World War I, South Tyrol was awarded to the victorious power Italy and Italianised afterwards. After difficult times and conflicts between the language groups, today 500,000 people of the German, Italian and Ladin language groups live together in peace. The Province of Trentino-South Tyrol is an Autonomy, and thereby is an exemplary model for other minorities worldwide.

South Tyrol... The magic of variety

South Tyrol lives from contrasts and is therefore often referred to as the symbiosis of Alpine and Mediterranean spontaneity and reliability, nature and culture.
