I lack of any date concerning the gonfalon and the coat of
arms of the region. The coat of arms is quartered: in the first
and the fourth, argent a Trento eagle sable armed or; in the
second and the third, argent an eagle of Tyrol gules armed or.
The gonfalon is vertically blue and white with the coat of arms
in the middle. On the blue field, above and under are written the
words Regione Trentino-Alto Adige, on the white field
the words Region Trentino-Südtirol in gold. There
isn’t any official flag.

The official Alto-Adige/Sudtyrol flag has the shield of the
arms on it so it is different from Austrian Tyrol flag, but I saw
also flown the latter.

I had the possibility to see the flag of the Trentino-Alto
Adige region. It is white over light blue with the coat of arms
of the region in the center.It seems to be unofficial

The only place where I ever have seen hanging the flag of the
Autonomous Region Trentino-Alto Adige, is the Palace of the
Region in Trento.

From
http://www.rbvex.it/italiaregioni2.html:
"The blue and white flag, in
use (limited) since 1995, incorporates the features of the gonfanon, including
the shield with the quartered arms of the province of Trento (1 st and 4 th) and
that of Bolzano (2 and 3) . The white and blue are the colors on which they were
borne in old coats of arms of Trento and Bolzano respectively. It has never been
legally defined, unlike the coat of arms and the banner, approved September 17,
1982 and approved by presidential decree of 21 March 1983."

1. It should be mentioned that the Autonomous Region of Trentino-Alto Adige
is nowadays very much void of competences, as most of them have been transferred
to the two provinces.
2. Thus, the symbols, including the flag, are in very
limited use indeed (as remarked by Roberto Breschi).
3. The flag is not
official in contrast to the gonfalone. In the case of Italy, the gonfalone
should always be mentioned, as it is usually the only legally defined flag, and
often the flags "proper" are derived from it.
4. This is also the case here:
the gonfalone is the origin of the flag.
5. I have the impression that the
colours of the gonfaloni often do not have a good foundation in history.
Gonfaloni have to look nice, with a lot of embroideries, and they have to show
the arms, that's all.
6. In the case of TAA it is indeed somewhat mysterious
[why the colours blue and white are used]. The sources available to me (from
Vexilla Italica) basically say nothing else than Breschi (as cited above): when
exactly the arms were borne on white or blue, respectively, and in which context
(flag? gonfalone?), is not mentioned. The original source for the sentence is
the 1984 article (see below).
7. There are three articles in Vexilla Italica,
that contain material on the TAA flag:
- V.I. 1984 (2): p. 33-37.
- V.I.
1996 (19): p. 11-16.
- V.I. 2000 (2): pages unknown (I don't have this one)

The coat of arms in the flag is a combination of the arms of the two
provinces, Trento and Bolzano, but the flags of those provinces are white-red
and burgundy-white, respectively.
