Chronicles from the southern border

Walter, our guide, is waiting for us in the village. He tells us about the origins and traditions of Salorno as well as the economic and cultural changes it has experienced. He also tells us about the enormous impact that the border between Trentino and South Tyrol has had on the lives of its inhabitants. We are also particularly impressed to learn that the village has been saved from the drastic urban changes that have affected other parts of the region. Proof of this is the fact that there are practically no modern hotels here. There is, however, a contrast between Italian-inspired architecture from the Fascist period and that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
