VALLEY OF THE ADIGE AT TRIENT. 

 This is a portion of the land Italy hopes to regain from Austria. Throughout the entire region the 

 valleys are narrow and fertile, the mountains high and rugged, and their slopes steep, sterile and denuded 

 of the forest growth that once covered the now exposed diorite rocks. 



AREAS OF DESOLATION CROWNED WITH A CASTLE. 

 Steep slopes of exposed rock originally forested, but now covered with an open growth of inferior 

 trees and shrubs. A thousand years ago the building crowning the height was a fortified castle, later it 

 was converted into a monastery, and now it is used by the Austrian army operating south through Tyrol.
