German grammar is definitely not Latin. There are some Latin French, Italian, English, etc.)  loan words in German, but the basic structure is very transalpine and not similar to the ‘Romance’ languages.

Südtirol – called Trentino Alto Adige in Italian – is actually part of Austria and belongs to Italy only because WWI, the population is German and so are their language and culture.

There are Italians who speak German, primarily in the very touristy areas, Italy does get flooded with northerners in Summer, or at least they did until you-know-what.
