 The
Aosta Valley in Italy.
Aosta Valley is the smallest region in Italy and is situated in the “heart” of the Alps, surrounded by the highest peaks in Europe (Monte Bianco, Monte Cervino, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso), all over 4000m in altitude.
This region is like a tiny island in the heart of the mountains. Over the centuries this characteristic has influenced its history, language, administrative and political life, encouraging the development of a collective identity.
Thanks to this feature the region obtained by the Italian Government autonomy and Special Statute. |
