History

In 1982 the Trentino [Tyrolean People's Party] broke up: the more conservative wing formed the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Union, while the more centrist wing formed Integral Autonomy, under the leadership of the longstanding leader of the PPTT Enrico Pruner.
In the 1983 provincial election Integral Autonomy won only 3.1% of the vote, while Franco Tretter's UATT the much higher 8.2%. In the 1984 [European Parliament election in Italy|1984 European Parliament election], it joined Liga Veneta's Union for a Federalist Europe.
In 1988 the two parties merged into the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party, which gained 9.9% in the subsequent 1988 [Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol regional election|provincial election].
