Abstract

One of the Author's travels through Italy took place within the framework of the 15th International Passive House Conference (Innsbruck: May 25 - May 29, 2011), when the Author in Willach (Austria) turned off the main highway leading to Salzburg and Munich and he took the road along the South Tyrol (Tyrol) to the north of Italy, and on to Innsbruck, in order to get to know these regions that are usually bypassed on trips to Western Europe (This trip is described in detail in Book 4. Architecture in the travelogues of an architect). On this occasion, the Author passed through smaller Italian cities (San Candido (German: Innichen), Monguelfo-Tesido (German: Welsberg-Taisten), Brunicio (German: Bruneck), Chienes (German: Kiens), Naz-Sciaves (German: Natz-Schabs), Merano (German: Meran)), but also through landscapes of rarely seen beauty. It was interesting for him that each of these cities has a dual name, Italian and German (which was visible from the signs at the entrance and exit of the cities), which pointed to their complex history. The author's fourth trip to Italy took place during his participation in a symposium in Piran (Slovenia) where he presented his work: One example of a sustainable living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, University of Primorska, Institute for Mediterranean Heritage, Symposium: Revitalization of historical settlements in agreement between komunostjo in stroke, Piran, Slovenia, September 1 - 2, 2011. On this occasion (September 2, 2011), the author visited Venice, having previously passed through Trieste.
