It was such a delight to speak to the Archduke! During this brief encounter in the hallway of Rome's Gregoriana I heard his voice as he chatted in several languages (each "perfectly" as I was told).
With my one friend from the Tyrol he chatted in German, while with my other friend from Hungary they chatted in Hungarian, while with my friend from France they spoke in French and then he even spoke Croatian with another friend of mine (the royal family used to vacation on a Croatian island). Needless to say, His Royal Highness knows the language and culture of his people.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH HIRH ARCHDUKE OTTO WAS POSITIVE. HE IS REMARKABLE AND SO HAPPILY RELIGIOUS. I HAVE HAD A HUMBLE CORRESPONDENCE WITH HIM FOR SOME YEARS. HE IS ALWAYS POSITIVE AND FOCUSED....AT 94. GOD HAS BLESSED HIM.
Ah, South-Tyrol e meglio! Anche il cibo e meglio (la cantina tirolese)! ecco: www.cantinatirolese.it
