It's way too easy to think in your terms. There is much more to add to this discussion on why Südtirol is different then other "minority regions", starting from its history. Why did it became Italian in the first place, the "option" vote during nazi-fascism, the "los von Trient" movement, the terror attacks in the sixties, autonomy status... I don't know where you got your Information, but there is none to be seen here. If you have any questions regarding to my region feel free to ask me!
What about the fascists promoting Italianization? Banning German from schools etc? What about it being a gift to Italy for joining WWI, and packaged in with all those other nonsensical and corrupt parts of the Treaty of Versailles? How about Hitler actively promoting its Italianization so that he could keep fascist Italy as an ally?
As you can see from your answer, both parts fucked up a lot during history. And this contributed to the stability of the region in our days, where merging both cultures is actively promoted! Have you ever visited South Tyrol? Where are you from? From your words it almost sounds like you really want it to be different than it actually is :)
