Zelten is an Italian fruitcake originating in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy prepared during Christmas time. [1] It is made with rye flour, wheat flour, dried and candied fruits, orange zest, and various spices. The name derives from the word selten, which in the nearby dialect means 'seldom', since it is usually prepared only once a year. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Flag of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol</span> Flag of autonomous region in Italy

The flag of Trentino-Alto Adige consists of a coat of arms, containing two eagles of San Venceslao (Trentino) and two Tyrolean red eagles, historical symbols of the two provinces, which stand out against a white and blue background. The shape of the flag is a rectangle with a framed heraldic shield on it. Like other flags, the flag of Trentino-Alto Adige is also inspired, albeit differently, by the French flag introduced with the revolution of 1789. When Napoleon's army crossed Italy, starting from March 1796, flags of tricolour style were adopted both by the various newborn Jacobin republics and by the military units that supported the French army. In the Alpine region, however, sketches of the two-tone known today began to emerge. Trentino-Alto Adige has been a region with a special statute since 1948. The two parts that make it up, the Province of Trento and the Province of Bolzano, in turn, constitute two provinces with particular prerogatives of autonomy defined in 1972. The white-blue flag, in use (limited) since 1995, takes up the characteristics of the banner, including the shield with quartered eagles from the province of Trento and that of Bolzano. White and blue are the colours on which the coats of arms of Trento and Bolzano respectively were worn in ancient times. It has never been legally defined, unlike the coat of arms and the banner, approved on 17 September 1982 and approved by presidential decree of 21 March 1983.
