The charm of Bolzano (Bozen in German) comes from this combination of Austrian traditions and Italian culture. While it has long been difficult for Italians and native Austrians to live together, the younger generation is well aware of the opportunities offered by this dual culture. Everyone feels Tyrolean (southern), deliberately "apart". Disputed by the Lombards, Franks and Bavarians, Bolzano, which depended on the Duchy of Trento, was ceded to the Count of Tyrol, then to the Duke of Carinthia and finally to the Dukes of Austria. The town remained Austrian until the end of the First World War, when, under the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919), the territories south of the Brenner Pass became part of the Kingdom of Italy. In 1927, Bolzano became the capital of the province of Alto Adige, which became autonomous in 1948.
