SouthTyrol is known for its mountains, which compose a portion of the Italian Alps and the main Alps chain located in Europe.
Today, SouthTyrol enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and relations with North and East Tyrol – the two portions of the old state retained by Austria – are lively, especially since Austria joined the European Union.
Italian provinces that border SouthTyrol are Belluno to the southeast, Trentino to the south and by Sondrio to the southwest.
The communes of many cities asserted their independence from the overlordship of either the Holy Roman Emperor or the pope, only to fall under the domination of oligarchies or despots during the 13th and 14th centuries.
The commune is now the unit of local governmental administration in France, and is composed of the citizens, a council elected by the commune itself, and a maire appointed by the state.
Communes also developed from early 17th-century religious communities such as the Rosicrucians and Muggletonians, to more radical groups such as the Diggers and the Quakers (members of the Society of Friends).
