Etiquette in South Tyrol
In South Tyrol there is an Austrian-style mixed to Italian etiquette: for example when entering and leaving public places South Tyrolean always say Grüß Gott or Buongiorno when arriving Auf Wiederschauen or Arrivederci when leaving. Don't say ciao or hallo to people you don't know. It's very impolite. Don't raise your voice or shout in public, especially on public transportation, it's considered extremely unpolite and aggressive. Eye contact is very important if introduced to someone or toasting. When toasting say prost in German or cin cin in Italian - normally also Italian-speakers use both.
Complete nudity is forbidden in public especially if there are children, but it's common to see topless women in beaches and recreational areas.
When eating pay attention if you are eating knödels: they should be tender and if you use a knife for eating them you are saying to the cook that the knödels he/she cooked are not good.
If you are walking on the mountains is common to greet the people you meet.
