The Federalist Party (Template:Lang-it) was a federalist and regionalist political party in Italy. It was funded by Gianfranco Miglio and Umberto Giovine on 1 June 1994 as the Federalist Union (Template:Lang-it). The party was strengthened in July 1995 by eleven Lega Nord (Northern League) deputies. Vittorio Sgarbi joined the party in December 1995 and became its vice-presient.
Close to Silvio Berlusconi's party Forza Italia, it was affiliated with his Pole for Freedoms as part of Italy's centre-right coalition, and was renamed as the Federalist Party in December 1995. After Miglio's death in 2001, the party was almost disbanded; it continued to exist and to be active as Federalist Movement (Template:Lang-it) under the leadership of Umberto Giovine until 2008, when it was merged into the Movement for Autonomy.
History
The Federalist Union was founded on 1 June 1994 by Miglio,[1] an influent member of Italy's Senate of the Republic and political scientist who left the Northern League in May 1994 over disagreements with Umberto Bossi, and Giovine, a former Italian Socialist Party member who was at the time member of Berlusconi's Forza Italia.[1] In July 1995, the group was strengthened by the joining of eleven members of Italy's Chamber of Deputies, all former members of the Northern League who had previously joined the Federalist Italian League and the Federalists and Liberal Democrats. This made possible the establishment of a sub-group within the Mixed Group in the Chamber of Deputies.[1]
The Federalist Party was officially founded on 17 December 1995. At the founding congress in Milan, Sgarbi, an art critic and maverick politician, joined the party. The program of the party included the idea of transforming Italy in a federal state modelled onto the examples of Switzerland and the United States, composed by three cantons (Padania, Etruria, and Mediterranea) and the five existing Italian autonomous regions. The federation would have been presided by a strong presidential system.[1] For the 1996 Italian general election, Sgarbi left Miglio to form a list with Marco Pannella, the Pannella–Sgarbi List. Miglio was elected senator in his single-seat constituency in Como with the support of the Pole for Freedoms as Giovine, the party's secretary, did in Lodi. In 1997, the Federalist Party formed joint lists with the Union of the Centre at the local level and continued its approachment with Forza Italia.[1] The party was almost disbanded after the death of Miglio in 2001 but continued to exist and to be active as the Federalist Movement under the leadership of Giovine. In 2008, the party was merged into the Movement for Autonomy.[2]
