Trentino-Alto Adige

Trentino-Alto Adige or Trentino-South Tyrol (in Italian: Trentino-Alto Adige, in German: Trentino-Südtirol, in Ladin Trentino-Sudtirol) is an autonomous region in northern Italy. It consists of two distinct areas, the Italian-speaking Trento and the largely German-speaking Alto Adige/Südtirol (South Tyrol). The region was part of Austria-Hungary until its annexation by Italy in 1919. It was called Venezia Tridentina between 1919 and 1947.
