Who are Trentini?
Trentini are people from Trentino in the northeastern Italian Alps, centered around Trento and surrounding valleys. Trentino's history includes Alpine Romance communities, the Prince-Bishopric of Trent, Habsburg rule, links with Tyrol, Veneto, Lombardy, and modern Italy.
Italian is the main language, with Trentino dialects and Ladin in some valleys. Trentino should be read as an Alpine northeastern Italian profile, not as a generic Veneto or Lombardy average.
As a genetic reference, Italian Trentino is useful for comparison with Venetian, Piedmont Verbania Lombard, Friulian, Piedmont Cuneo, Lessinia Cimbrian, Bergamo Lombard, Friuli Sauris, Provence Marseille, and Alpine/North Italian references.
What is Trentino DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Italian Trentino is closest to Italian Veneto Venetian, Italian Piedmont Verbania Lombard, Italian Friuli Friulian, Italian Piedmont Cuneo Occitan or Piedmontese, Italian Veneto Lessinia Cimbrian, Italian Lombardy Bergamo Lombard, French Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur Bouches-du-Rhone, Italian Friuli Sauris Bavarian, French Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur Bouches-du-Rhone Marseille, and Spanish Baleares Mallorca Catalan. The result places Trentino in an Alpine and northeastern Italian comparison space.
