After leaving Austria we entered Italy, in the first couple of places we stayed German was primarily spoken but as we traveled more south, to Milan, Italian started appearing more and more. There is a definite change in the cleanliness of the cities as well as the places to stay the more Italian influence there is. As Giancarlo says "Italians are not clean people". The countryside of Bolzano along with the winding roads in the Dolomites were a fabulous way to see the Italian Alps which are far less visited then the city we are now residing in, Milan. It is crazy to think that the nazis were escaping through these mountains and staying in these quaint areas that we have been. Hitler was well known in Munich and as we saw there were many areas that he called meetings with his followers that are now tourist destinations, but with the smaller towns that Eichman and Mengele stayed there is less documentation, not only because they were escaping but because there is much less of a population.
