Only roughly half of the Alpine area is German-speaking, yet we more or less only hear about the German heritage in the region. Italian presence in the Alps is mostly forgotten and most people hardly know about any other part of Italy’s Alps than South Tyrol and so is French. Even in Slovenia, we tend to consider the Alpine parts as the most “culturally German” part of the country, despite that part never having had any significant German population nor being close to any German cultural centers.
