“Middle-Earth’s” Italian community Did you know there are people speaking the Trentin dialect in Bosnia and Herzegovina ? Well here is an article about that: the Italian communities of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will specifically focus on the community of Štivor , a small town in the municipality of Prnjavor , a city where the population is almost entirely Italian from the Sugana Valley (Valsugana in Italian). The Italian community of Štivor is roughly 100 years old , formed after a mass migration from the Sugana Valley. The migration happened because in the late 1880s a flood of the River Brenta nearly destroyed the small towns in the valley, leaving most its inhabitants not only without a home but also without a job and considering that the economy thrived in that area, it dealt also a heavy toll on the morale.
