The Non Valley ( Italian Val di Non , in Nones Val de Non ) is an orographically right side valley of the Adige Valley north of Trento in Italy . Most of it belongs to Trentino , only in the northernmost section are there three communities in South Tyrolean territory; these are collectively referred to as Deutschnonsberg .
Traditionally, the entire valley is called Nonsberg by South Tyroleans . In Italian, on the other hand, the upper area on the orographic left side of the valley from Dermulo upwards is delimited from the rest of the valley as Alta Val di Non . The modern name Nonstal is of recent origin and just a literal translation of the Italian name.
location
The Val di Non is located west of the Adige Valley and is traversed in the upper area by the Rio Novella stream, which flows into the Lago di Santa Giustina near Cles . The latter is a reservoir that is fed by the Noce, which flows from the Val di Sole (Sulzberg) into the Val di Non valley at the Mostizzòlo gorge north of Cles and, as an outflow from the Santa Giustina reservoir, flows through the lower Val di Non in a canyon before it in the Piana Rotaliana flows into the Adige. It is bordered in the east by the Mendelkamm belonging to the Nonsberg group , in the north and north-west by the Ortler Alps and in the west and south-west by the Brenta group .
The valley can be reached from the south through the Rocchetta Gorge, from Bozen over the Mendelpass , from Lana over the Gampenpass and from the Ultental over the Hofmahdjoch .
The valley is a good starting point for excursions to the Brenta group or the Ortler massif .
language
German is spoken in the three northernmost communities in the area, which is why they belong to South Tyrol. This area is called Deutschnonsberg to distinguish it from the Romance-speaking area. Since the Romansh-speaking Nonsberg is right on the German language border, but also because of the relatively large German population there until the 18th century, numerous German words have been included in the local Romance language. E. Quaresima lists a number of words of German origin in his dictionary of Anaunian dialect (1964), for example: smuzzec (dirty), rom (frame), stol (stollen). In almost all Nonsberg communities, German names are still among the most common family names.
Discussions regarding the linguistic classification of the local Romance dialects were the subject of the Questione Ladina . The Romanists Graziadio Ascoli and Theodor Gartner treated the language of the Welsh Nonsbergers ( Nones [emphasizes: Nònes], also: Anaunisch) as Ladin and thus part of the Romansh languages .
The chronicler of the Council of Trent , Michelangelo Mariani, noted in 1673 the foreign-sounding language on the Nonsberg, which he did not know how to name and interpreted it as " old Gaulish " - Ladin, like Romansh as a whole, was not yet recognized as an independent language .
Other linguists viewed the local idioms as part of a northern Italian dialect continuum.
Since the 2001 census, the residents of the valley community have had the opportunity to declare themselves as Ladins. In the 2011 census, 26.4 percent of the residents of the valley community declared themselves to be Ladins.

Others
The largest place in Val di Non is Cles. To the west of Cles lies the Val di Sole. In its early history, the valley was settled by the Bechuni tribe. Significant archaeological finds from the Fritzens-Sanzeno culture on the Nonsberg, including Rhaetian inscriptions, date from pre-Roman times . In the 1st century the valley was romanised and called Anaunia . The Tabula Clesiana, found near Cles in 1869, a decree of the Roman Emperor Claudius from the year 46 AD, which is on display in the Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trento, dates from this period . The Lombard finds from the time between 568 and 788 AD are also numerous.
The valley is crossed by the narrow-gauge Nonstalbahn , which was supplemented by the Nonsbergbahn until 1934 .
In the valley floor there is a temperate climate that allows fruit to be grown. One in three apples harvested and eaten in Italy now comes from Nonsberg.
