tourism and woodworking.
• There are also some vineyards,
which allow the production of
excellent wines: Petit Rouge and
Blanc de Morgex.
• There are also vast pastures,
which give nourishment to the attle
of fine breed, for the production of
meat, milk and cheese (the
fontina).
[Gran Paradiso National Park - link: http://www.parks.it/parco.nazionale.gran.paradiso/par.php]
• In the Gran Paradiso National
Park there is alpine fauna (ibex,
chamois, marmots and ermines)
and it is a destination for many
tourists.

Hydroelectric power stations
In Valle d'Aosta there are many
hydroelectric power stations: in
general they represent a form of
alternative and renewable energy.
The gravitational potential energy,
that a certain mass of water at a
certain
altitude
have,
is
transformed into kinetic energy.
This kinetic energy is finally
transformed into electricity in a
hydroelectric power station thanks
to an alternator coupled to a
turbine.

along the river banks of
the Po, the high humidity
causes frequent fogs in
winter;
the areas near the lakes
have a cold climate in

the climate is
characterized by long and
harsh winters and sunny

The Sforzesco castle_1
It was built as a fortress in 1368.
Subsequently, it was transformed into a
splendid ducal palace, which was partly
destroyed during the Golden Ambrosian
Republic.
The Sforza family transformed the castle
into one of the most beautiful courts in
Italy but, subsequently, it passed into the
hands of the Spaniards and Austrians,
recovering its ancient military function.
Link: https://www.turismo.it/cultura/articolo/art/milano-quello-che-c-da-sapere-sul-castello-sforzesco-id-19417/
In June 1800, Napoleon ordered its total
demolition and, in 1801, the side towers
and the Spanish bastions were
destroyed.

26.

The Sforzesco castle_2
In the second half of the nineteenth century the castle
was the subject of heated debate: many people from
Milan said to demolish it to build a luxurious residential
building. However, historical culture prevailed and the
architect Luca Beltrami subjected it to a major
restoration, bringing the castle back to its ancient
appearance of the Sforza era.
The restoration work was completed in 1905, when the
Torre del Filarete was inaugurated and, in the old parade
ground, numerous plant species were planted, giving life
to the new garden of Parco Sempione.
Link: https://www.turismo.it/cultura/articolo/art/milano-quello-che-c-da-sapere-sul-castello-sforzesco-id-19417/
During the Second World War, the castle was again
damaged.
At the end of the twentieth century, the large square of
the castle was built, with a fountain inspired by one
previously installed on the spot, destroyed in the sixties
during the construction of the metro. In 2005, the last
restoration works of the courtyard and the rooms of the

A state within a state: the Vatican City
On 11 February 1929, with the Lateran
Pacts, Italy officially recognized the
existence of an independent state located
on the Vatican hill, at the western end of
Rome: it is the Vatican City, the smallest
state in the world.
The most important monuments are: St.
Peter's Square, the Apostolic Palaces, the
Lateran Palace and Castelgandolfo. It has
one of the largest and most important
library in the world.

the highest authority; the diplomatic
representatives abroad are the apostolic
nuncios.
