Traditional costume, Dirndl

In live in a region of northern Italy called Alto Adige, which differs from the others in the use of the Italian language alongside the German one. Here when we celebrate or cook something typical of the region, many people wear traditional clothes called Dirndl. The colors of these clothes change from valley to valley. Another curiosity that few know is that if the woman wears on the Dirndl the bow tied at the waist on the left it means that she is single and on the right that she is married or with a partner.
