Demography The Valle d'Aosta is the smallest region
in Italy with 120,000 inhabitants and is "set" in the Alpine mountain range, surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Europe (often described as the “four 4000s”). The regional capital is Aosta, originally called Augusta Pretoria and founded in 25 A.C. under the Roman Empire

Bilingualism (French and Italian)almost all place names and local surnames
are French in origin.

Certain Valdostane myths are based on the fantastic birth and transformation of the mountains , lakes, plants and flowers ; others talk of … “diabolic” actions – with the frequent appearance of the devil in local tradition.
Some stories cover religious themes and "talk" to voices from other realms; saints are celebrated for their intercession with God, leading to small miracles.

Witches are also often present in tales; their stories lapse between fantasy and reality, in a region in which past historians have long since denied the presence of the Inquisition.
Ghosts, often the protagonists of legends applied to literature and “ghost stories”, appear in tales and in more modern forms of popular word of mouth: “dark” magazines, blogs and websites.

Cheese Fontina
a cheese that brings together all the exclusive aspects of unpasteurized and whole milk and its manufacture; it has a compact, thin, brown crust, inside of which is a semi-cooked, elastic and soft paste with a few small holes. The cheese is a pale yellow colour if produced in winter, when the cows are fed hay, and becomes a deeper yellow if produced during the summer. It has a sweet taste and its fragrant aroma intensifies as it matures.

Cuisine: Meat Vallée d’Aoste Jambon de Bosses - a raw ham
spiced with mountain herbs, produced at an altitude of 1600 meters in the location bearing the same name, Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses, situated in the Gran San Bernardo Valley, at the edge of the Swiss border.
Due to its many properties the 'Vallée d'Aoste Jambon de Bosses' obtained the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in July 1996. The ideal occasion to taste this delicacy is the festival dedicated in its honor, which takes place yearly in Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses during the second Sunday of July.
