Actually no, Alto Adige (Südtirol) was annexed by Italy in 1918. Its population was never asked whether their region should stay with Austria or Italy.

As I've said - be proud, they want to be you.

( That's why they wanted to include at least part of Germans. Without actually asking them, apparently))))

Italians are Germanic, Moroccans are Scandinavians, and the Swedes are tropical Latin people from the Caribbean.

I really do not understand why some people want that anyone was germanic. For remind, the adjective germanic relates to a group of languages, that's all. It is not a question if ancestry, race or hair color...

Is this the same guy who asked if northern Italy should be considered part of Central Europe, or Germanic Europe?

No, that's the Finns. The Finns are Mongols, and the Russians, to a surprising extent, are Volga Finns. Does that make them "Mongols", too? IDK, you tell me.

God no, we are Italians and that's all.
We are neither Germanic nor Western nor Mediterranean, we are simply Italians.
