History

Fassa was formed as Fassa List (Lista Fassa) in August 2008 as a centre-right alternative to the centre-left Ladin Autonomist Union (UAL), [2] which used to garner a large majority of Ladin votes in Fassa Valley. Its first leader was Gino Fontana, mayor of Vigo di Fassa and, formerly, provincial councillor for Daisy Civic List, a centrist party aligned with the centre-left.[ citation needed ] A year later, the List was institutionalised and became a fully fledged party under the current name. [2]

In the 2008 provincial election, the party won 0.61% of the vote (26.63% in Fassa Valley). [3]

In March 2012, Elena Testor  [ it ] was elected president of the party and Luca Guglielmi secretary. [4] In September 2013, Riccardo Franceschetti, mayor of Moena and leading member of the UAL, left his party to join Fassa. [5]

In the 2013 provincial election, the party won 0.83% of the vote (31.89% in Fassa Valley). [6]

In the 2015 Fassa community election, the party prevailed over the UAL and Testor was elected Procuradora (President of the Fassa community). [7] [8]

In the 2016 Italian constitutional referendum, Fassa supported the No, [9] which won with 57.9% of the votes in the Fassa valley. [10] [ failed verification ]

In the 2018 general election, Testor affiliated to Forza Italia, [11] and was elected to the Italian Senate from the single-seat constituency of Pergine Valsugana. [12] [13]
