This and their longing for freedom and independence led to the foundation of the self-governing "Magnifica Comunità della Val di Fiemme" in the 12th century. Literally translated as the "magnificent community of Val di Fiemme", it exists even today and is for instance responsible for administrating the Panaveggio wood, one of the most important and beautiful woods of Italy and Europe.
