Abstract

In October 2007, municipal plebiscites were held in three Ladin communities of the Province of Belluno (Region of Veneto, Italy) on the proposal to join the Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol (Region of Trentino Alto Adige-South Tyrol) where minority languages are provided wider legal protection.

The results brought an overwhelming majority (more than 80%) in favour of a union with South Tyrol.
