Südtirol: The Night of Fire
Feuernacht - Kampf Macht Frei (Unofficial Music Video)
European Black Metal
This is not an official music video, which means this isn't linked to the band or the record label. I made this myself with some footage I found online. You can read the background of this historical event below. Enjoy :)
After fascism came to an end in Italy, the situation of the Austrian population in South Tyrol seemed to be getting better. However, a large section of the population was not ready to accept the status quo as existed under Benito Mussolini. Even though fundamental questions were addressed in the Treaty of Paris, the conditions of the treaty were rarely fully fulfilled.
In addition, many German speakers of the province wanted to renege their attachment to Italy and to once again become part of Austria and others wanted to become self-governing. Starting in 1957, small groups started to form that were prepared to use force to achieve their aims. The night of fire was the starting point for a series of attacks throughout the 1960s, planned and carried out by a group called South Tyrolean Liberation Committee (Befreiungsausschuss Südtirol (BAS).
The Night of fire (German: Feuernacht; Italian: Notte dei fuochi) happened on the night of 12 June 1961 when 37 electricity pylons were blown up in South Tyrol by the South Tyrolean Liberation Committee. It formed a turning point in the history of the province.

Südtirol bewegt - Alto Adige da vivere
In South Tyrol you’ll find a striking juxtaposition of landscapes and cultures. The province’s landscape, nature, hiking and culture all richen and enliven a vacation spent here. South Tyrol has three different languages as well as the Dolomites, which will frame and make your holiday special in winter and summer alike.
This is a land where culture is life, where people still live according to laws of Mother Nature, where the locals are anchored in their tradition yet look to the future, and where food and wine play a critical role. A holiday in South Tyrol simply must be experienced.
