Land, People, and EconomyThe terrain is almost entirely mountainous, except for a narrow strip along the upper Adige River, where most of the population is concentrated. The region includes the Tyrolean Alps south of the Brenner Pass and, in the east, part of the Dolomites. The region is divided into Trento and Bolzano provinces. The provincial capitals alternate biennially as the site of the regional parliament. The provinces have considerable autonomy. Most of the inhabitants of Bolzano province, and roughly 40% of the total population of the region, are German-speaking; the rest speak Italian or, a tiny minority, Rhaeto-Romanic. Agriculture forms the backbone of the regional economy, with cereals, fruit, and dairy cattle the principal items. There is mining of zinc, lead, copper, and iron. There is also a large tourist industry, in both summer and winter. HistoryMost of the region was included from the 11th cent. to 1802–3 in the episcopal principalities of TrentTrent, The Italian Fascist government's program of intensive Italianization and the enforcement of Italian as the sole official language met with violent opposition. An agreement in 1938 between Hitler and Mussolini provided for extensive forced migration of the German-speaking population to Germany or to other parts of Italy. However, this program was extremely unpopular and soon collapsed. Following an agreement (1946) between the Italian and Austrian governments, the republican constitution of Italy (1947) granted the region considerable autonomy. Both German and Italian were made official languages, and German schools were permitted in Bolzano province. However, the German-speaking population in the province (called Südtirol, or South Tyrol, by the Germans) continued to demand greater autonomy. They received the backing of Austria, which charged that the German-speaking population in Bolzano had not been given the autonomy envisaged in the 1946 Austro-Italian agreement. Serious tension developed between the two countries. In 1960 the Bolzano problem was debated, at Austria's request, at the United Nations, on whose recommendation Italy and Austria entered into direct negotiations. Their efforts were partially vitiated by acts of terror committed in the region in 1961. It was only in 1971 that a treaty was signed and ratified; this agreement stipulated that disputes in Bolzano would be submitted for settlement to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, that the province would receive increased legislative and administrative autonomy from Italy, and that Austria would not interfere in Bolzano's internal affairs. The region was granted increased autonomy in 1972. Trentino-Alto Adigea region in northern Italy, in the Alps, on the upper Adige River, north of Lake Garda.

About one-fifth of the national production of electric power (8.3 billion kilowatt-hours in 1972) comes from hydroelectric power plants, which are mainly located in the Alps. There is electrochemical industry in Bolzano and Merano, and electrometallurgy, including the aluminum industry, in Bolzano and Mori. The region also has transportation and electrotechni-cal machine building, as well as woodworking, textile, and food industries. Agriculture is concentrated in the mountain valleys of Venosta, Monastero, and Merano; 84 percent of the agricultural land is under meadows and pastures, 10 percent consists of orchards and vineyards, and 6 percent is plowland. Rye, wheat, corn, and potatoes are grown. The economy includes viticulture, wine-making, and fruit growing. Cattle are the main type of livestock. Tourism is also an industry. The territory of modern Trentino-Alto Adige, which was the historical region of Trentino, constitutes the southern part of the historical region of the Tirol. In accordance with the Treaty of St. Germain of 1919, the territory was transferred from Austria to It aly. Until 1948 it was an Italian administrative region, Venezia Tridentina; in 1927 it was divided into the provinces of Trento and Bolzano. In 1948, in accordance with the 1947 constitution of the Italian Republic, the region, which was renamed Trentino-Alto Adige, received its autonomy through a special statute.
