Deutsch sprechen ist verboten
Vietato parlare tedesco
This illustration is meant to describe a critical situation, a hard choice which South Tyrollean people had to make: whether staying in Italy or moving to Germany. You could only speak German in Germany and Italian in Italy. What would you chose? Either choice you would have made, you would have lost your identity.
