According to <www.flagsonline.it>,
the flag is white and charged with the eagle as at the coat of
arms (without the shild).

The Bolzano-provincia flag at <www.flagsonline.it>
is clearly wrong, as it shows the red eagle on a plain white
background, whereas it should be striped white-red.
Marcus Schmöger, 26 November 2004
We made a mistake, because we put online the coat of arm on
white background. Real flag is eagle inside a shield on a
red-white background,

"La Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano ha il diritto; ai sensi
dell'articolo 3 dello Statuto di autonomia, di avere accanto allo
stemma anche un proprio gonfalone. Mentre lo stemma dell'Alto
Adige (vedi alla pagina precedente) e stato approvato gia nel
1983, il gonfalone ha ottenuto l'approvazione definitiva da parte
degli organi competenti a livello nazionale solo di recente,
nell'autunno 1996. Dal punto di vista formale la deliberazione
con la quale la Giunta provinciale ha chiesto l'approvazione del
gonfalone (deliberazione del 7 ottobre 1996) e stata approvata
con decreto del Presidente della Repubblica del 21 novembre 1996.
Il gonfalone dell'Alto Adige e costituito da un drappo partito di
bianco e rosso caricato dello stemma con iscrizione trilingue in
oro: "Autonome Provinz Bozen-Südtirol" nel palo
bianco, e "Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano-Alto Adige"
nel palo rosso e "Provinzia Autonóma Bulsan-Südtirol"
in parte nel palo bianco ed in parte nel palo rosso. L'asta
verticale e ricoperta di velluto dei colori del drappo. Nella
freccia e rappresentato lo stemma della Provincia".

I send you a picture
which shows three flags hanging from the wall of Castel Beseno
(Trento Province). The left is South Tyrol. The flags for Tyrol
and South Tyrol both must be white-red, only the eagles are
diffenrent.

The status of autonomy (of the region) says in its article 1
that the region has a gonfalon and some arms, which must be
approved by decret by the president of the state.The new status
of autonomy of the 20th of January 1972 says in its article 3
that the region, the province of Trento, the province of
Bozen/Bolzano have all a gonfalon and a coat of arms which must
be approved by decret by the president of the state. On the 2nd
of April 1980, the government of the province of Bozen/Bolzano
(South Tyrol) named a commission to work on propositions for the
gonfalon and the coat of arms of the province. On the 6th of
January 1981, the commission started to work on the propositions
(especially the white-red flag of Tyrol and the Tyrolean eagle
which is shown in the chapel of the castle of Tyrol (city)). On
the 2th of July 1982, the commission chose as arms the Tyrolean
eagle in its simplest form and the white-red Tyrolean flag. The
president of the State, Sandro Pertini, approved the arms and the
flag in March 1983. The arms of South Tyrol appear in the arms of
the region and are registered in the heraldic register of Italy.
It shall be said that the adoption of the arms and the gonfalon
was not so easy because the Italian government didn't want that
the province chose the coat arms of a foreign region. The coat of
arms is a compromise since it differ a bit from the Austrian
Tyrolean one.The gonfalon was accepted by the State with less
difficulties.
The coat of arms is described: argent a Tyrolean eagle gules
armed or. The gonfalon is vertically red-white with the coat of
arms in the middle and the words Provincia autonoma Bolzano
and Autonome Provinz Bozen in gold.
Pascal Vagnat, 22 September 1998
"South Tyrol [Süd Tirol] (Austrians of Alto Adige) -
North Italy" - Horizontal white-red with shield bearing an
eagle.
This flag is listed under number 47 at the chart "Flags of
Aspirant Peoples" [asp]
