Yes, after all? If you do not want a German cultural stay connected, listen to the people? .. I must say, from home, we got along quite well with the Italian neighbors. Half if not more of the goods, meadows and fields of our farm home, are on cadastral municipality of the Italian community Brez. The commercial, shopping and so on have with neighboring communities, including Italian, harmonizes quite well, and today. I have not heard old men talk, as it is slipped well under Austria. In Old Austria the saying has come up: "For the Italians, in the so-called irredentists to Austria have meant a prison of nations", we started off in Italy, that with the Trentino the award was "Stavamo male, quando stavamo bene". In Austria, it is them went well, have all been working, many in the new railways that were built around the Arlberg. They have had all the bread and work. After Italy, no one has gone down in the old days to look for work, which are themselves emigrated, many to South America, particularly Argentina, which is why it is we have gone better than we did the above, us that we have gone badly. And so.
