Aosta Valley
The Aosta Valley is a mountainous region of north-western Italy, bordering France and Switzerland and drained by the Dora Baltea. Its passes, the Great and Little St Bernard, made it a key route across the western Alps; the Salassi held it until Rome conquered them in 25 BCE and founded Augusta Praetoria, modern Aosta. It is now an autonomous region with French and Italian as official languages.
