German Chancellor Angela Merkel
and her husband Joachim Sauer arrived in Italy's mountainous
South Tyrol region on Friday for their annual private walking
holiday in the Dolomites.
The couple are based in Solda at the foot of the Ortles
massif.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier is also currently in
South Tyrol and so is former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi,
who arrived in Merano on Friday.
Ex President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano has already
been in Sesto in Val Fiscalina for several days.
