South Tyrol (Südtirol) is a predominantly German speaking province of Italy, ever since Austria lost WW1. From then on linguistic ("toponomastic") battles have been fought for a politically correct name. The fascist name was "Alto Adige", something like "Upper Adige" or "High Adige", "Adige" being the Italian name for the main river there flowing south into the Adriatc. So this name looked south towards "Old Italy". The German name South Tyrol looked "down" from the North, from North Tyrol, and saw total Tyrol (or Tirol). The Tyrol Castle is in South Tyrol, incidentally. In the meantime we fight a bit less about names, Italians say Sud Tirolo without connotation, Alto Adige as well. – But Speck being a typical "ethnic" German speciality, see the label in the picture stressing SÜDTIROL, you might like to use the name Südtiroler Speck or South Tyrol Speck a bit more often, or even predominantly, for a politically correct balance. Speck Alto Adige sounds strange when used internationally. – Fritz Jörn (talk) 05:27, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
