The Valdotanian Union (Union Valdôtaine, UV) is a regionalist-centrist Italian political party active in Aosta Valley. Its leaders are Ego Perron, party president, and Augusto Rollandin, President of the Region.
UV has been steadily represented in the Italian Parliament since 1976 and, thanks to the disappearance of Christian Democracy, it has become the catch-all party of the Region, similarly to the South Tyrolean People's Party is in South Tyrol. Indeed the party steadily increased its share of vote from the 11.5% of 1973 to the 47.2% of 2003. UV has led the regional government since 1974 (with the exception of only three years).

Famous quotes containing the word union:
“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
