Yes, Mike, but the Tyrol is divided. There's a part that was ceded to Italy
decades ago (I forget when or why and it's a source of some friction there)
that has some elements of Italian culture. I had a ski holiday there around 20
years ago. It seems that most of the inhabitants would prefer to be thought of
as Austrians.
