What makes Asiago so special is the language. A part of the people still speak the ancient German dialect called Cimbri. The prime fathers of Asiago were German farmers and when they came to this part of Veneto to cultivate the land they brought their language and culture with them. The village of Roana tries to protect and care for this "Cimbrian" dialect still today. In Roana there is a museum called "Kulturinstitut Augustin Prunner", where you can learn more about the minority-language and its culture. (scroll down)
Livio Dalle Molle spoke at our 2009 reunion about the settlement of L'Altopiano and the Cimbri dialect.
