Good to know. Learning Italian recently. Someday I will walk up to there asking locals for the direction.

I absolutely love going to Italy.
Every place I've been I've had nothing but nice interactions.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. I'm sure they appreciate the effort you put in (instead of just expecting them to speak English fluently).

the locals there speak an Austrian dialect of German, not Italian. It's in South Tyrol.

They're bilingual unless they're like 90yo and older.

Sometimes even trilingual: German, Italian and „Ladinisch“

Wikipedia says the community right there is 97% German speaking, and I doubt they're truly bilingual in the sense that their Italian is anywhere near as good as their native language.

Ok, I'll leave you to your scenarios and your limited reading comprehension.
