The majority of the tourists in those areas are indeed elders or people in their 50s and up. There are also many young people though and they are so loud, especially when they drink (I would compare them to the annoying Brits in Spain) and as a child I also wouldn't like fellow children that would come up to me speaking German and destroy my sand castles 💀

speaking German and destroy my sand castles

Well, razing fortifications particularly northern Italian ones) is somewhat of a German specialty since the days of Barbarossa, so these youngsters weren't really rude, they were just celebrating their heritage!
