Bolzano's provincial government on Tuesday passed a law to keep the name of the surrounding region as Alto Adige after a recent row over its supposed replacement by the term South Tyrol. The government approved an ad hoc bill to change article one of the European law and replace 'province of Bolzano' with 'Alto Adige'.
The German text of a recent version of the law only cited South Tyrol and not the Italian equivalent, Alto Adige, sparking a row. But Governor Arno Kompatscher described the alleged name change as "fake news". He said it would have been impossible to change the name from Alto Adige to South Tyrol only because this would have meant breaching the Italian Constitution.
