  2. It is fantastic, Karl.

    The tour guide was making a pun. "Miss Informed" = "misinformed" = "Incorrect information."

The Province of Bolzano-Bozen, also referred to as Alto Adige or South Tyrol, (also spelled South Tirol), is an autonomous province in northern Italy. It is one of the two provinces that make up the region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, which is itself an autonomous region. The province has an area of 7,400 square kilometres (2,857 sq mi) and a total population of more than 500,000 inhabitants. Its capital is the city of Bolzano (German: Bozen; Ladin: Balsan or Bulsan). The majority of the population speaks an Austro-Bavarian dialect of German and consider themselves ethnically Tyrolean. About a quarter of the province is Italian-speaking and a small minority speaks Ladin as their mother language. Font: Wikipedia
