Aosta listen (help·info) (French: Aoste, Arpitan: Aoûta; Latin: Augusta Prætoria) is the principal city of Aosta Valley, a bilingual region in the Italian Alps, 110 km (68 mi) north-northwest of Turin. It is situated near the Italian entrance of the Mont Blanc Tunnel, at the confluence of the Buthier and the Dora Baltea, and at the junction of the Great and Little St. Bernard routes. Aosta is not the capital of the province, because Aosta Valley is the only Italian region not divided into provinces. Provincial administrative functions are instead shared by the region and the communes.
Aosta was settled in proto-historic times and later became a centre of the Salassi, many of whom were killed or sold into slavery by the Romans in 25 BC. The campaign was led by Marcus Terentius Varro, who then founded the Roman colony of Augusta Praetoria Salassorum, housing 3,000 retired veterans. After 11 BC Aosta became the capital of the Alpes Graies ("Grey Alps") province of the Empire. Its position at the confluence of two rivers, at the end of the Great and the Little St Bernard Pass, gave it considerable military importance, and its layout was that of a Roman military camp.
Your love shows many colours
Roses will show their thorns
You showed me signs of silence
Showed me my way back home
I break my back, bent over
I dance on broken glass
I hold my breath half to death
You can't forget the past
Unless you think it's not over
Let's kiss it goodbye
Is it really worth it?
Is it all just a lie?
Not like I'm giving up now, I am willing to try
Unless you think it's not over
Let's kiss it goodbye
My love shows it's horns
Could you lead us home?
Break your,
Break your back on broken glass
You can't forget the past
Unless you think it's not over
Let's kiss it goodbye
Is it really worth it?
Is it all just a lie?
Not like I'm giving up now, I am willing to try
Unless you think it's not over
Let's kiss it goodbye
My love shows many colours
Devils will show their horns
I lead you into darkness
Hoped it would lead us home
You break your back, bent over
You dance on broken glass
I know you'll always love me
You can't forget the past
Unless you think it's not over
Let's kiss it goodbye
Is it really worth it?
Is it all just a lie?
Not like I'm giving up now, I am willing to try
Unless you think it's not over
Let's kiss it good
