The Dolomite valley people whose Ladins — the Rhaeto-Romance speaking community, whose UNESCO-recognized Dolomite landscape of vertical rose-colored rock towers is the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe.
Ladin people — a Rhaeto-Romance community of the central Dolomite valleys whose language descends directly from the Vulgar Latin of Roman Raetia, surviving the Germanic Lombard and Bavarian migrations that replaced Latin across the surrounding lowlands by retreating into the high valleys where geographic isolation preserved what conquest erased elsewhere, their Ladin language today spoken by approximately 30,000 people across five valleys straddling the Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto regions. The Ladins' autonomous cultural institutions — their own schools, television broadcasts, and the Istitut Ladin cultural center in San Martino in Badia — and the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites whose Sella massif, Marmolada glacier, and Tre Cime di Lavaredo towers frame the Ladin valleys in the most spectacular Alpine landscape on earth, make the Ladin community the most successful small European people at preserving both linguistic heritage and natural homeland simultaneously. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Dolomite valley legacy and Ladin Italian heritage with a QR code linking to the full story.
