Italy and Peru
The confused identity of South Tyrol; Plus offering medicine with a prayer.
Pascale Harter introduces items from around the world.
In the Alps, the region of South Tyrol used to belong to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But following the First World War it was ceded to Italy. Today the population is split between native German and Italian speakers and the region has a large degree of autonomy from Rome. But do they feel Italian? Bethany Bell finds out.
