Pronounce it as though he were Austrian. Which he is. The Alto Adige is the Sud Tyrol--part of Austria, and only Italian by political accident following World War I.

I'd think Ah-lo-eez La-geh-der would be closer to the Germanic pronunication, assuming that he goes in for that. And if we're talking about Austria, it would be the Südtirol.

Merci. Or Something. Either/or we're in the ballpark...

Thanks!

Sorry, no. The "i" is never stressed. AH-loyz la-GAY-der comes as close as possible.
