The Non Valley
The Non Valley ( the Anaunia, is its historical-literary name), is a wide tableland in the western part of Trentino, it is bordered from north by the Maddalene range, from west by th Brenta Group, from east Catena della Mendola-Roen-Cime di Vigo. These mountains, which are not very high, form a range which, interrupted only by the Passo della Mendola, runs in a north-south direction from the Monte Macaion to the Roccapiana, the most representative peak of the Cime di Vigo. Therefore, the eastern border is clearly defined and consists of the Val d´Adige, the upper section of which is in the province of Bolzano. The geological formations here consist primarily of sedimentary rocks (dolomites and limestones).All these mountains surround and protect the territory from cold, northerly winds and assure a favourable climate.The valley is rich in water and alpine lakes, the artificial lake of Santa Giustina, the Noce river which carves a narrow canyon, and infinite number of springs and streams.The geological formations here consist primarily of sedimentary rocks (dolomites and limestones).All these mountains surround and protect the territory from cold, northerly winds and assure a favourable climate.The valley is rich in water and alpine lakes, the artificial lake of Santa Giustina, the Noce river which carves a narrow canyon, and infinite number of springs and streams.

Archaeologic history
Museo Retico ArcheologicoAlpine prehistory and the conditions and identities of the ancient populations who lived in the fascinating and mysterious world of the Alps: I RETI
Tito Livio, nella sua "Storia di Roma", V, cap.33, afferma
«Tuscorum ante Romanum imperium late terra marique opes patuere... Et in utrumque mare vergentes incoluere, prius cis Appenninum, postea trans Appenninum coloniis missis, quae trans Padum omnia loca - excepto Venetorum angulo - usque ad Alpes tenuere. Alpinis quoque ea gentibus haud dubie origo est, maxime Raetiis, quos loca ipsa efferarunt ne quid ex antiquo praeter sonum linguae nec eum incorruptum retinerent».
"Il potere degli Etruschi, prima della supremazia dei Romani, si stese largamente sulla terra e sul mare….Essi posero le loro sedi sulle regioni che si affacciano sui due mari (Tirreno ed Adriatico n.d.) , prima al di qua dell’Appennino, poi, mandando al di là di esso delle colonie, occuparono tutto il territorio al di là del Po fino alle Alpi, eccetto la zona dei Veneti. Senza dubbio questa è l’origine anche delle genti alpine, specialmente dei Reti, resi così selvaggi dalla natura stessa dei luoghi che della loro origine conservarono solamente il suono della lingua e nemmeno questo incorrotto"
