“2. It’s a strange local Italian tradition where young Italians dress up like Krampus and run around hitting random people with bendable branches.”
This was NOT an Italian tradition. It is Austrian. You were wrong from the beginning. I wasn’t. Deal with it.
But I already did deal with it! See comment 91, where I agreed with you on this point, and wrote that I shouldn't have said it was an Italian tradition.
Now it's time for you to deal with fact that I was right about "1. It’s Italy, not Austria."
I'll help you out with the exact location of the very street.
