Key Figures of the Convention Area                                              Italy

The Italian Convention area comprises seven regions, three of which are autonomous (Trentino-Alto Adige/Bolzano-South Tyrol, Aosta Valley and Friuli-Venezia Giulia), and 23 provinces. The autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Bolzano-South Tyrol consists of two autonomous provinces, Trento and Bolzano-South Tyrol. While most regions and provinces are only partly located in the Alpine Convention area, the autonomous region of Aosta Valley, the provinces of Sondrio (Lombardy) and Belluno (Veneto) and the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano-South Tyrol are located entirely in the Convention area.
