and of “Terra dei Forti<\/strong>“. Here the culture of the production of wine is well rooted,and since ancient times has been the pulling economy; in the past, the silk industry was important as well.<\/h3>\n

There are many wine farms in the area, which have constantly kept updated and thus have brought the local product to be acknowledged at international levels. The modernization of the techniques has also affected animal-breeding, which extends from the mountain pastures of Mount Baldo,\u00a0down to the industrialised farms in the lower part of the valley.
