The Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (Italian: Partito Autonomista Trentino Tirolese, PATT) is a regionalist,autonomist,Christian-democratic, and centristpolitical party in Trentino, Italy.
The PATT is the unofficial counterpart of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP) in Trentino and the two parties contested together several general and European elections. Through its alliance with the SVP, the PATT applied to be admitted in the European People's Party (EPP), becoming an observer member in 2016 and later an ordinary one.
Franco Panizza is the party's current secretary, Federico Masera president. Ugo Rossi, a former leader, has served as President of Trentino since 2013. Panizza and Rossi are centrists and strongly support the alliance with the Democratic Party and the Union for Trentino (PATT's coalition partners since 2002), while former president Walter Kaswalder held a more conservative (and traditional) position, that resonated well with the party's grassroots, until his eviction in January 2017. Another minority faction is led by Giuseppe Corona, standard-bearer of the "Tyrolean" nationalist and separatist wing.
The party was founded on 25 July 1948 as the Trentino Tyrolean People's Party (PPTT).
Between 1972 and 1976, the PPTT was represented in the Italian Senate by Sergio Fontanari.
In 1982 a split between the conservative wing, led by Franco Tretter, and the centrist wing of the party, led by longstanding leader Enrico Pruner, occurred. The first group retained the name of the party, but then changed it to Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Union (UATT), while the latter took the name of Integral Autonomy (AI).
