Wir. Noi. Nos. (English) - South Tyrol's Autonomy and Minority Protection
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Today’s South Tyrol is characterised by a strong autonomy. This was not always the case. As late as the 20th century, the cultural identity of the German- and Ladin-speaking minorities in the very north of Italy was threatened. Attacks by separatists who wanted to return to Austria and the sharp reaction of the central state almost caused the conflict to escalate. Many years of diplomatic negotiations between Bozen/Bolzano, Rome and Vienna, supported by the UN, led to the pacification of the conflict. Today, a sophisticated system of self-government protects the minorities and includes all language groups. Autonomy has turned South Tyrol into a peaceful and prosperous region in the heart of Europe, visited and studied by minority representatives around the world.
As a South Tyrolian living abroad, this will save me so many headaches trying to explain our history, heritage and why it's not 'that simple'. Thank you guys, this is massive!
I'm a native South Tyrolean, so I *might be biased. If it sounds good, it is simply because it is good. 🤩Most of us natives (i.e. from families who have lived here since at least the time of the K.u.K.) do indeed speak all three languages. The Italians who moved here after WWII of course have some difficulties speaking either German or Ladin (but the same can be said about the Germans who moved here, who might have difficulties speaking either Italian or Ladin). Yes, from a legal perspective the "declaration of ethnicity" still exists (one has to decide whether one is "pure" German, Italian, or Ladin), but this usually affects more """"newcomers"""" than us natives. Some schools are still segregated on the basis of ethnicity, but in practice, most of us switch languages multiple times during any random conversation with friends & families.
Couldn’t have put it any better
@@claudiopeli2774 Thank you! 😀

The administrative process and power sharing sound very similar to Switzerland... German, French, Italian.
There might be some similarities, yes.
Progress in civilisation looks pretty much in favour for a European unity that respects more autonomy for all of its regions while enjoying more international relevance through their mutuality.
I am currently travelling in South Tyrol and so it brings me to this video as I find the place very impressive in terms of infrastructures, quality of accommodations and food. Most of all, the beauty of its nature is top notch. It is so inspiring that this place has so much history and became one of the prosperous regions of Europe. Thanks South Tyrol and South Tyroleans for making our honeymoon a memory of a lifetime!
Thanks for this feedback!
Meanwhile in Elsass and Lothringen... oups, I mean Alsace-Lorraine
Nationalism and its consequences have been a disaster for the European Space.
Elsass and Lothringen are beautiful names, they sound very fairytale and elvishlike. They should revive those names.
This video deserves more views
This is a very good film, thank you. I will be making a short documentary about South Tirol, how can I get in touch with you?
Thank you! Just write us an email: info@autonomyexperience.org
Nice little video.
Good until the Arabic part
Interesting
Das fantastique bellisimo
Sounds like a promotional film, but I hope it is all accurate.
Love this film, I'm from South Africa, I hope Orania will get independence one day.
Never heard of that little place
Sounds like state propoganda. Sounds too good. Have the Italian immigrants integrated and learnt the native language. That for me is the real test.
7:36 It explicitly states schools teach two languages to students.
Their children will be bilingual, or sometimes even trilingual.
It’s Italy now, they should integrate into the italian culture

@@didonegiuliano3547 you see the fact is that south tyroleans are not immigrants, they were taken by force and forcing them to give up their culture would be no better than france invading italy and forcing french culture on them. That's what fascists do.
Maybe italy should intagrate into south tyrol instead ;)
My family was from here
We left because are schools forced use to speak Italian
Good!
@@colors6692 Erasing ones culture is not "good" and there's a word for that...
What happened to Prussia, czech germans, polish germans, volga germans if you think Mussolini was nasty. And the Hapsburgs moved south. Bit of ethnic cleansing there.
Not ever part of Austria. Ladin is not germanic. My dna is made up of german, nth italian/furlan and slovene. My name is a dolomite name that is hundreds of years old. Note. The Italians have always had a presence on the Istrian/dalmatian coast from the Roman Empire to the Venetians.
South Tyrol is not Italy.
Cry about it
Trentino is not South Tyrol.
cope harder
south tyrol is europe
interesting propaganda.
Nicht Italien
