Alliance for Veneto (Alleanza per il Veneto, AdV) was a short-lived centrist political party in Veneto, that was the section of Alliance for Italy (ApI) in Veneto.
In December 2009 Raffaele Lombardo, leader of MpA and President of Sicily, formed his third cabinet including ministers from his MpA party, the PdL–Sicily and the newly formed regional section of Alliance for Italy, plus some independents, including one who was close to the opposition Democratic Party (PD).
Many Rutelliani, including Francesco Rutelli himself, eventually left the Democratic Party in order to found the Alliance for Italy on 11 November 2009.
In the last regional election, which took place on 28–29 March 2010, Gian Mario Spacca of the Democratic Party, supported also by the Union of the Centre and Alliance for Italy, defeated by a comfortable margin his centre-right opponent Erminio Marinelli and, thus, secured a second consecutive term as President.
He is currently Vice President of Alliance for Italy, and is the former leader of the Italian Democratic Socialists and the modern-day Italian Socialist Party, and former President of Emilia-Romagna.
Alliance for Italy (ApI), though officially still member of the centrist coalition New Pole for Italy, decided to take part in the contest, fielding a candidate from its own ranks.
The main candidates were Enrico Musso, an independent politician supported by the main political forces of the New Pole for Italy (UDC, ApI and FLI), and Marco Doria, who was chosen as the candidate for the center-left coalition on 13 February 2012 via the coalition's primary elections.
The populist course taken by the party, that enforced its co-operation with the far left, and the emergence of more "extreme" figures like de Magistris led Pino Pisicchio and his centrist faction to leave the party in order to join Francesco Rutelli's Alliance for Italy (ApI) in November 2009.
She was the member of the Italian chamber of deputies for Alliance for Italy.
Gian Mario Spacca of the Democratic Party, supported also by the Union of the Centre and Alliance for Italy, defeated by a comfortable margin his centre-right opponent Erminio Marinelli and, thus, secured a second consecutive term as President.
However he soon found that the party was too left-wing for him and in November 2009 took part to the foundation of Alliance for Italy (ApI) with Francesco Rutelli.
The party was founded on 9 December 2010 by three deputies coming from centre-left parties and headed to support the centre-right government led by Silvio Berlusconi: Massimo Calearo (ex-PD and ex-ApI), Bruno Cesario (ex-PD and ex-ApI) and Domenico Scilipoti (ex-IdV).
The constituent members of the coalition were the Union of the Centre (leader: Pier Ferdinando Casini), Future and Freedom (Gianfranco Fini), Alliance for Italy (Francesco Rutelli) and the Movement for Autonomies (Raffaele Lombardo).
In December 2009 Raffaele Lombardo, leader of MpA and President of Sicily, formed his third cabinet which included ministers from his MpA party, the PdL–Sicily and the newly formed regional section of Alliance for Italy (ApI), plus some independents, including one who was close to the opposition PD.
Rutelliani refers to the group around Francesco Rutelli, a former leading member of the Democratic Party, a political party in Italy, and later leader of Alliance for Italy.
The group is led by Mario Diana, who had been the floor leader of the PdL until the very split, and includes Gian Vittorio Campus (ex-PdL), Roberto Capelli (ApI, ex-UDC), Claudia Lombardo (ex-PdL), and Massimo Mulas (UPC, ex-UDS).
After having dropped the idea of becoming the regional section of Alliance for Italy in order to replace Alliance for Veneto, Cacciari hinted that VN may become the regional section of Future Italy (Italia Futura), a think-tank and would-be party led by Luca Cordero di Montezemolo.
