(“Trentino-Alto Adige / Südtirol” (Italian: Trentino-Alto Adige, pronounced [trenˈtiːno ˈalto ˈaːdidʒe]; German: Trentino-Südtirol; Ladin: Trentin-Südtirol) is an autonomous region in Northern Italy)

Since the 1970s, most legislative and administrative powers have been transferred to the two self-governing provinces that make up the region: Trentino and South Tyrol.

From the 8th century until its annexation by Italy in 1919, the region was part of Austria-Hungary and its predecessors, the Austrian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.

Together with the Austrian state of Tyrol it is represented by the Euroregion Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino.

With a past of poverty, the region is today among the wealthiest and most developed in both Italy and the whole European Union.

(in English, the region is also known as Trentino-South Tyrol or by its Italian name “Trentino-Alto Adige”)
