  • Die Etsch Und Ihre Kartographische Aufnahme Durch Ignaz Von Nowack 1802 Bis 1805
    Die Etsch und ihre kartographische Aufnahme durch Ignaz von Nowack 1802 bis 1805 Wilfried Beimrohr Die Etsch einst und heute Die Etsch (im Italienischen Adige) entspringt in den Ötztaler Alpen in 1550 m Höhe auf der Südtiroler Seite des Reschenpasses. Mit einer Wasserführung von 235 m3/s ist die Etsch nach Po, Ticino und Tiber der viertgrößte und mit einer Länge von 415 km der zweitgrößte Fluss Italiens, nur der Po ist länger. Ihre wichtigsten Nebenflüsse im Gebirge sind, von links einmündend und von Norden nach Süden, Passer, Eisack und Avisio sowie, von rechts einmündend, Plima, Falschauer und Noce. Die Etsch durchfließt den Vinschgau mit seinen fünf Talterrassen, überwindet die Talsperre der Töll und gelangt in den Meraner Talkessel und damit in das Etschtal. Bei Meran wird die westöstliche Flussrichtung plötzlich gebrochen, die Etsch wendet sich jäh nach Südosten und strebt dem Talkessel von Bozen zu. Dort richtet sie sich nach Südwesten aus, die Richtung wird sie bis zum Austritt aus den Alpen beibehalten. Unterhalb von Bozen durchfließt sie das Südtiroler Unterland, die Salurner Klause und erreicht nach rund 140 km das Gebiet der italienischen Provinz Trento (Trient), passiert die Provinzhauptstadt Trento (Trient) und durcheilt in der Nähe von Rovereto eine Stromenge. Etwas unterhalb von Borghetto verlässt die Etsch das Vallagerina (Lagertal), wie das Etschtal unterhalb von Trient genannt wird, somit das trienterische und damit alttirolische Territorium und wälzt sich durch die Engstelle der Veroneser Klause. In der Ebene knickt die Etsch nach Südosten ab und erreicht Verona. Im Unterlauf ist die Etsch mit dem Mündungsgebiet des Po verbunden und verzweigt sich.

  • Socio-Cultural Characters of a Border Territory
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Volume 7 • Number 5 • May 2017 Socio-Cultural Characters of a Border Territory Marco Della Rocca Polytechnic of Turin Department Architectural Design Turin, Italy Abstract It is the aim of this article to analyze the political system in effect at the end of the XIX century in a border territory, such as Trentino Alto Adige, a region straddling to worlds: the Italian and the German speaking one. In this analysis I will retrace the origins of regional autonomy by recalling the historical and political events that let to a deep imprint of the concept of self-governance in this area; starting from the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the same year of the annexation of the Bishopric of Trento to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and until the outbreak of WWI. The aim of this study is to understand how deeply the forms of self-governance that the Austrian empire granted to the area influenced the culture and society of the time, and even left traces in today's modern society. 1. Introduction Autonomy is an intrinsic value in the Trentino Alto Adige region, inherited from the history of its past. «The political-administrative system of a State and the correlative concept of sovereignty» hail from its «development processes»; in the case of the Trento society it was the XIX century Hapsburg domination to deeply imprint the concept of «self-governance». The Austro-Hungarian Empire had expanded geographically through «territorial conquests thanks to hereditary rights or free loyalties as in the case of the county of Tyrol».

  • Northern Italy: the Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, nothing is more idyllic than the mountainous landscapes and rural villages of Alpine Europe. To immerse myself in their pastoral traditions and everyday life, I love to explore rural communities like Teglio, a small village nestled in the Valtellina Valley. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owner, walk the grounds, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a traditional meal with your hosts in the farmhouse. You’ll also get a taste for some of the other crafts in the Valley when you visit a locally-owned goat cheese producer and a water-powered mill. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences during a conversation with two political refugeees at a local café in Milan to discuss the deeply divisive issue of immigration in Italy.

Die Dissertation besteht aus drei Kapiteln. Im ersten Kapitel werden die Effekte von Heterogenitat¨ in der Beobacht- barkeit der Bodenqualitat¨ auf Besteuerung und politischen Institutionen erlautert,¨ theoretisch betrachtet und empirisch anhand von Kartendaten analysiert. Es wird ein statistischer Zusammenhang zwischen Beobachtbarkeit der Bodenqualitat¨ und Große¨ und Uberlebenswahrschenlichkeit¨ von mittelalterlichen Staaten hergestelt. Das zweite Kapitel befasst sich mit dem Einfluß dieses Mechanismus auf die spezielle Geschichte Brandenburg-Preußens, und erlautert¨ die Rolle der Beobachtbarkeut der Bodenqualitat¨ auf die Entwicklung zentraler Institutionen nach dem Dreißigjahrigen¨ Krieg. Im empirischen Teil wird anhand von Daten zu Provinzkontributionen ein statistisch signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen Bodenqualitat¨ und Besteuerug erst im Laufe des siebzehnten Jahrhundert deutlich. Das dritte Kapitel befasst sich mit dem Einfluß relativer Geographie auf die Grundung¨ des Deutschen Zollvereins als Folge des Wiener Kongresses.

  • The Swedish Justitieombudsman*
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL VOLUm 75 NOVEMBER 1965 No. 1 THE SWEDISH JUSTITIEOMBUDSMAN* WALTER GELLHORNt How IT ALL BEGAN MucIH of the Swedish Constitution of 1809 has been forgotten; its delineation of royal powers and parliamentary structure has little relevance to today's realities. But the office it created, that of the Jus- titieombudsman, has lived and grown. It has inspired similar establish- ments in Finland, Denmark, Norway, and New Zealand, and has added the word "Ombudsman" to the international vocabulary.'
