Al Lavoro! 2021

Since the late Middle Ages, Tyrol has been a multilingual country. Contact between the German- and Italian-speaking areas is intense, and the cultural and linguistic differences reflect the diversity of the country. In the 19th century, political and economic changes lead to an increased migration movement. Many Trentino people move to the northern part of the country to work in railway construction, the building trade or the textile industry, or to complete an apprenticeship. Innsbruck becomes multilingual.
