History

The party was founded in 1992 by De Paoli, a former blue-collar worker, local leader of the Marxist–Leninist League, [1] [2] and municipal councillor for the Federation of the Greens in Brescia. [3] De Paoli was elected a member of the Senate of the Republic in the 1992 Italian general election (when the party won 2.1% in Lombardy), [4] and was re-elected in the 1994 Italian general election (4.3%). [5]

For the 1996 Italian general election, the party joined forces with Alleanza Lombarda Autonomia (a 1989 split from Lega Lombarda, led by Angela Bossi and Pierangelo Brivio, sister and brother-in-law of Umberto Bossi respectively), forming Lega per l'Autonomia – Alleanza Lombarda. In 2009, Lega Alpina Lumbarda, led by De Paoli, filed lists in some Lombard provincial elections. The list gained everywhere less than 1%. [6]
