Ours to Share: The Dolomites, Between Well-Trodden Paths and New Trails

The article explores various legal issues concerning the Dolomites. It begins with an introduction offering a naturalistic overview of the Dolomites before delving into their legal dimensions. The first section, titled “Well-Trodden Paths”, examines well-established topics in legal scholarship, focusing on land ownership and management, the rights of linguistic minorities, and, more recently, environmental concerns, particularly in the context of climate change. The second section, “New Trails”, shifts attention to the placement of religious and artistic symbols on the Dolomite mountains—a subject that has received relatively little attention in legal studies.
