Livigno ((イタリア語:Livigno), local , (ドイツ語:Luwin)) is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Sondrio, in the region of Lombardy, Italy, located in the Italian Alps, near the Swiss border. ==History== Livigno's first settlers were probably shepherds during the Middle Ages. The first documents called this area "vinea et vineola". This Latin name does not refer to the presence of vineyards in the area, but comes from the German language, meaning "avalanche". The valley has always been at risk from this point of view. The last avalanche hitting the village was in 1951, which caused seven deaths and damage to a dozen houses. Politically, Livigno has always followed Bormio's history, although the relationships between the two communes have always been tense, Bormio being dominant and more populous than Livigno. Until the 1970s Livigno was a farming village. In recent decades, however, things have changed, and nowadays Livigno enjoys a better economic situation and a higher number of inhabitants. Livigno has recently enjoyed one of Italy's highest birth rates (19.4 births per 1000 inhabitants).〔(Official Livigno tourism portal )〕 Livigno's economy is based on tourism, both in winter and in summer, and on its duty-free status, with goods sold at bargain prices. Building companies, craft industry and agriculture are somewhat developed, but all these sectors are in various ways linked to the main source of income. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Livigno」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
