Unique architectural styles, a troubled past and a very peculiar atmosphere: Club ANCI (National Association of Italian Municipalities) represents specific small Italian towns to safeguard and promote their outstanding art, history and culture. Five are located in South Tyrol. In the middle of an unrivalled natural landscape. They are walled villages which had been long considered as important trade centres. They still hold an allure that attracted world-reknowned artists and powerful aristocratic families. They are authentic. And unique.
