In the context of the negotiations for the Italian Peace Treaty of 1947, the article examines the discussions regarding the future of South Tyrol, which Austria claimed on ethnic grounds. Italy, on the other hand, sought to maintain sovereignty over the province of Bolzano. The Western Allies appeared willing to accept minor territorial adjustments. The Soviet Union’s position, which declared itself favorable to Italy, proved crucial. Also important was Alcide De Gasperi’s decision to grant the German-speaking community a form of autonomy, sealed by the bilateral agreement with Vienna, signed by the Italian leader and Austrian Minister Gruber.
Keywords: Italian Peace Treaty; South Tyrol; Alcide De Gasperi; De Gasperi- Gruber Agreement.
