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 Italian Trentino DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Italian Trentino is Italian Veneto (Venetian). Other nearby references include Italian Piedmont Verbania (Lombard), Italian Friuli (Friulian), Italian Piedmont Cuneo (Occitan or Piedmontese), and Bavarian Italy Veneto Lessinia (Cimbrian). This gives the Italian Trentino profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
