The Ladins of Fassa
The six Ladin municipalities of the Valle di Fassa, namely Moena, Soraga di Fassa, San Giovanni di Fassa-Sèn Jan, Mazzin/Mazin, Campitello di Fassa/Ciampedel and Canazei/Cianacei, make up the Comun general de Fascia, the body that has replaced the Comprensorio Ladino di Fassa, in turn heir to the Magnifica Comunità di Fassa, that ancient "Communitas Fasciae" mentioned for the first time in documents as far back as 1253.
Today, the Comun general de Fascia, following the constitutional law number 1 of 4 December 2017 which amended the Statute of Autonomy of the Trentino Alto Adige / Südtirol Region, has acquired the status of local territorial body to which the Region and the Province may attribute, transfer or delegate administrative functions and activities relevant to the enhancement of the Ladin linguistic minority.
