When I speak to him, I can do so in the South Tyrolean dialect, even though he is not South Tyrolean at all. He comes from Imer in Trentino, which is in the Primiero Valley. A ski racer from his village was at the Mals sports school. Giacomel wanted to go there too. “Apart from 'Hello, how are you', I didn't know any German, but I immediately got used to it,” he says.
