The Greens (Verdi–Grüne–Vërc) are a green,regionalist and social-democratic political party active in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Once the provincial section of the Federation of the Greens, the South Tyrolean Greens are an autonomous party and often form different alliances at the country-level (most recently with Italian Left).
The Greens are ethnically mixed and strive to improve the relations between the three language groups of the Province: Italian-, German- and Ladin-speakers. Since 2016 the party has been led by spokespersons Hans Heiss and Brigitte Foppa.
In the 2013 provincial election the Greens obtained 8.7% of the vote.
The Greens have their roots in the New Left and the environmental movements of the 1970s. They started to compete in elections in 1978, but were formally registered as a party only in 1996. From 1978 to 1996 they used different names: New Left (1978), Alternative List (1983), Green Alternative List (1988) and finally Greens (1993). One of the founders and most active members of the Greens was Alexander Langer, who committed suicide in 1995.
