A two-stage electronic pressure regulator includes an inlet duct, an intermediate duct, an outlet duct, a first, mechanical, valve arranged between the inlet duct and the intermediate duct, and a second, electronic, valve arranged between the intermediate duct and the outlet duct. The mechanical valve includes a regulation element rigidly connected to a piston slidably mounted in a cylinder, defining a first chamber and a second chamber that are fluidically separated by the piston. The mechanical valve includes an elastic element housed in the first chamber and configured to push the piston in the direction of opening of the mechanical valve. The mechanical valve includes a fluid duct configured to set in fluid communication the intermediate duct and the second chamber of the cylinder in such a way that the pressure in the intermediate duct pushes the piston in the direction of closing of the mechanical valve. The electronic pressure regulator has a further fluid duct configured to set in fluid communication the outlet duct and the first chamber of the cylinder in such a way that the pressure in the outlet duct pushes the piston in the direction of opening of the mechanical valve.
