Italians love South Tyrol and I don’t think they hate its inhabitants. Lots of Italians learn German in school. I think it’s the opposite. As Alex said, if you bump into a farmer up in the mountains, they are likely to run down Italy but I am confident things will change in the future.
I grew up in Vipiteno/Sterzing and went to school in Bolzano/Bozen. My Grandmother who raised me was from Napoli and moved to South Tyrol where my grandfather was from with their 5 kids. My Dad went back to Napoli for high school at the Nunziatella military academy and then moved to America at 19. He sent me back to live with my grandmother and my aunt and go to school. I spoke South Tyrollean dialect with most people but exclusively Italian and Neapolitan with my grandmother. I love South Tyrol and try go back a couple times a year. It is a beautiful place.
The blond kid spoke a perfect italian without any germanic accent. The other kid with dark hair, you could tell that his italian was influenced by his other language, german. All in all they're italian citizens and they do speak italian. If they also speak german, doesn't bother me one bit. In my view it's an added bonus. I mean why not? What's wrong with it? I myself for instance, speak italian of course and english as well and nobody has ever bothered me about it, ever. So it's about time we give these people of South Tyrol some slack.
I'm from there, currently writing my thesis on it. people don't realise how weird it is to be half breeds😂 you will never be Italian or German enough so...yeah
My family are half-breeds too. My grandfather was from Brixen and my grandmother was from Napoli, when they arrived in Sterzing in 1944, my German relatives treated my grandmother badly and called her Walsche. But eventually they accepted her and we were all very close.
The situation has changed a lot compared to a century ago. Young people are much more inclined towards Italian culture than they were in the past. A sort of mixture of Austrian and Italian cultures has been created, taking the best of both.

have you ever met a farmer anywhere who doesn't moan at an olympic level?

Grew up in Lazio, but moved to South Tyrol as an Adult. One of the most gorgeous regions in Europe let alone Italy.
