The Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces, originally named "Conference of Presidents of Regions and Autonomous Provinces", is a political body of coordination between the Presidents of the Regions of Italy, established in Pomezia, Lazio on 15–16 January 1981.[1]

Its 21 members include also the presidents of the autonomous provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol, which form the Region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.

The priorities that led to the birth of the Conference were:

  • improving the collaboration and consultation with the Government through the elaboration of documents shared by the whole "system of regional governments";
  • establishing a permanent interregional consultation to favour the spread of "best practices";
  • representing the "system of regional governments" externally and through institutional relations;
  • underlining the role of the regional institution in the creation of the European Union.[1]

The Conference has seen an increase in its role with the establishment of the State–Regions Conference (1983)[2][3] and the Unified State–Regions, Cities and Local Autonomous Conference (1997),[4] joint meeting of the State–Regions Conference and the State–Cities and Local Autonomous Conference (1997). Since then, the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces has been the official seat of interregional institutional dialogue; in fact, joint documents are prepared by the Conference and are later presented during the meetings of the State-Regions Conference and the Unified Conference.
