According to the 2011 census, 84.19% of the population speaks Ladin,
9.30% German and 6.51% Italian as first language


Poem in Ladin language by Roland Verra, read the translation below.

La sajon spënj
de nueva ansciudes

i popui sua de reja
sula rames desnudes

y l vënt me sesurea
stories mei audides

ma mpo uet
ie mi cuer...

**********

The season is breeding
a new springtime

the blossoms sweat with pitch
on the naked branches

and the wind is murmuring
unheard-of-stories to me

but nonetheless
my heart is empty...

June 2015 Theme Day: Stylish

Franz Josef Lenhart originated from Kufstein (Austria), studied in Vienna and Florence and in 1922 settled in Merano as a young graphic designer.
Just two years later he achieved a breakthrough with his poster for ENIT, the Italian national tourism agency. His "Visitate le Dolomiti" soon appeared all over Italy.
By 1930 at the latest Lehnart had discovered his own style: In the background mountains were usually visible, while in the foreground appeared dynamic skiers or elegant women radiating strongly erotic tones.
Lehhart's posters showed South Tyrol not as the land of Andreas Hofer, but as a sophisticated leisure paradise. Lenhart originals soon became sought-after rarities. In the 20 years between the wars, Lenhart produced over 100 tourist posters
 

Each 1st day of the month is "Theme Day" of the City Daily Photo Community.
