The Austrian–Italian border is a 404 km (251 mi)[1] land border along the Alps between the Republic of Italy and the Republic of Austria. The border has existed since 1861, however, the current modern-day border only came into existence in 1920, after the First World War. It has been an EU internal border since 1 January 1995. The border was last changed in 1947.[2] The biggest change of the border was in 1920, when South Tyrol was made part of Italy instead of Austria.
