Act for Trentino (Agire per il Trentino) was a regionalist political party active in Trentino.
The party was founded in June 2016, with its main goals being fighting against waste, determining precise rules on moral issues and self-financing, establishing a deep bond with the autonomist culture and the territories, and defending the weakest groups of the population.[2] The leader of the new party was Claudio Cia, a provincial councilor who controversially left the Trentino Civic List a month earlier.[3] [4] The other founders of the party were Alessandro Boller, Cinzia Bazzanella, Franca Penasa, Giambattista Pastore, Matteo Rigotti, Michele Azzetti, Paolo Peruzzini, Roberto Pergher, Sandro Bordignon and Tiziano Salvini.[5]
In October 2018, the party participated in the provincial election in Trentino within the centre-right coalition, in support of Maurizio Fugatti's candidacy, and obtained 2.14% of the votes and one seat[6] (assigned to the leader Claudio Cia).[7]
In the occasion of the municipal elections of September 2020, the party supported Marcello Carli's candidacy for mayor of Trento[8] together with the Renaissance party, but it scored only 1.68% of the votes and no seats.[9]
In December 2020, Act for Trentino officially merged into the Brothers of Italy party.[10] [11]
After his exit from Brothers of Italy in January 2024,[12] Cia revived "Act for Trentino" within the Regional Council of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.[13]
