Valle d'Aosta (province)

Japanese: バレ・ダオスタ[州](英語表記)Valle d’Aosta
Valle d'Aosta (province)
The northwesternmost region of Italy. Area: 3,262 km2, population: 120,000 (1994). Bordering France to the west and Switzerland to the north, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and other peaks, it is the smallest region in Italy, located in a valley (vale means "valley") surrounded by high peaks. The capital is Aosta. Because of its mountainous location, the main industries were livestock farming and forestry, but since the 19th century, it has been blessed with a relatively large variety of mineral resources (iron, coal, antimony, lead, etc.) compared to other regions in Italy, and mining and smelting have rapidly expanded. The ironworks in Cogne have been particularly important.

Japanese:
イタリア最北西端の州。面積3262km2,人口12万(1994)。西のフランス,北のスイスとの国境はモン・ブラン,マッターホルン,モンテ・ローザなどがそびえ,文字どおり高峰に囲まれた谷(バレは〈谷〉の意)に位置するイタリア最小の州である。州都はアオスタ。山岳地域のため,おもに牧畜,林業が中心であったが,19世紀以後,イタリアのなかでは比較的豊富でさまざまな鉱物資源(鉄,石炭,アンチモン,鉛など)に恵まれているため,急速に採掘および製錬加工が行われるようになり,なかでもコーニェCogneの製鉄業は重要であった。
