It is interesting how it just feels 100% different than all of the rest

 

We had to go to a doctor in Bolzano and one in Trento, so that particular time we weren't there for very long, but driving back north after the visit in Trento felt like a relief, somehow  

 

Same when driving back from Milan/Bergamo (where I said Bologna earlier, I meant Bergamo) towards Tramin/Termeno, despite certainly not living there it kind of felt like driving towards home  

Always, when I go from the high mountains- Moena to Trento at the beginning of March, I could already feel spring - green all around, olive trees etc. A nice contrast.

Were there times when a party had an absolute majority in your country?

Not in modern times (believe it has happened back in the 19th century). The Social Democrats were rather close in the mid-30s, but generally it's been the Social Democrats as the largest getting challenged by either Venstre (the old, liberal party) or the Conservatives (though their latest peak was in the 80s).

Keep in mind that most Danish governments have been minority governments. The latest government (well, it's still the government until the new one is formed) was the first one since the early 90s and only the 5th since the Second World War.
