Trentino Project (Italian: Progetto Trentino, PT) is a regionalist[1] and Christian-democratic[1] political party in Trentino, Italy.

History

PT was formed in July 2012 as a split, led by former regional minister Silvano Grisenti, from the Union for Trentino (UpT).[2][3]

In the 2013 provincial election the party supported Diego Mosna, entrepreneur and president of Trentino Volley, for president of Trentino.[4] Mosna was endorsed also by the Trentino Civic List,[5] Stop the Decline, Administer Trentino, Together for Autonomy and Autonomy 2020. Mosna won a 19.3% of the vote, coming a very distant second from Ugo Rossi of the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party, who was supported by the autonomist/centre-left coalition and garnered a landslide 58.1%.[6] PT however emerged as the fourth largest political force of Trentino, by winning 9.0% of the vote (the UpT got 13.3%)[6] and four provincial councillors plus Mosna, who was elected as best-placed defeated candidate.[7][6]

In December 2014, during the party's first congress, Marco Bettega was elected president to replace Mauro Dorigoni.[8]

In March 2015 Grisenti was convicted of corruption[9][10] and, as a result, temporarily abandoned politics.[11][12] The PT participated in the subsequent Trento municipal election in coalition with Lega Nord Trentino (LNT), Trentino Civic List (CT), Forza Italia and the Brothers of Italy: in the event, the party won 3.8% of the vote, less than most of its coalition parties.[13][14]

In January 2016, during the party's second congress, Marino Simoni was elected as new president.[15] In April the PT signed a federative pact with the Populars for Italy (PpI), a minor Christian-democratic party represented in Parliament.[16][17]

In the 2018 provincial election the PT was part of the autonomist/centre-right coalition. Maurizio Fugatti of the LNT was elected president of Trentino and PT, with its 3.2%, was the coalition's third largest party. PT's Mario Tonina was appointed acting vice president by Fugatti,[18] after the death of CT's Rodolfo Borga (who was supposed to function as vice president, due to CT's 4.6% of the vote), Tonina's appointment became permanent.[18]

In March 2019, during the party's third congress, Grisenti was elected president.[19][20]

In the 2023 provincial election the party ran in a joint list with the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party and Popular Autonomists, in support of Fugatti's re-election.[21][22][23] In the election, Fugatti was re-elected and the autonomist joint list obtained 8.2% of the vote and three councillors, including Tonina.
