Bolzano (Bozen) is the capital of the autonomous province of South Tyrol (Alto Adige) in northeastern Italy, situated at the confluence of the Isarco and Talvera rivers at approximately 262 metres above sea level. The city serves as the administrative and cultural centre of a bilingual German-Italian region with a distinct identity shaped by centuries of Tyrolean and Italian influence, and functions as the primary gateway to the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site to the east.
