Aosta | (surroundings)
"Rice cultivation is absent in Valle d'Aosta: the smallest and most mountainous region of Italy, nestled among the Alps and dominated by peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, has neither the plains nor the temperatures necessary for this crop, a region traditionally devoted to livestock farming and the heroic viticulture of its valley floors."
