Passing through the Austrian - Italian border, did you remark that absolutely nothing changed, neither building style nor the language written on them or on signs (maybe bilingual signs on the motorway)?
It's the German speaking south Tyrol for the inhabitants, but for the Italian it's the region of Trentino Alto Adige, that large area once Austrian that was annexed by Italy following the WW2 defeat / victory.
I spent a week there last year and walking within those towns & villages was astonishing: never ever would you guess you were in Italy, German only was heard & written everywhere!
