===Mayor of Varese===
He stepped down from that office after being elected Mayor of Varese with 57.8% of the vote in the first round of 28 May 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elezionistorico.interno.it/index.php?tpel=G&dtel=28/05/2006&tpa=I&tpe=C&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=3&levsut1=1&lev2=86&levsut2=2&lev3=1160&levsut3=3&ne1=3&ne2=86&ne3=861160&es0=S&es1=S&es2=S&es3=N&ms=S|title=Dipartimento per gli Affari Interni e Territoriali|website=elezionistorico.interno.it}}</ref> He was re-elected in May 2011 with 53.8% of the vote in a run-off.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elezionistorico.interno.it/index.php?tpel=G&dtel=15/05/2011&tpa=I&tpe=C&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=3&levsut1=1&lev2=86&levsut2=2&lev3=1160&levsut3=3&ne1=3&ne2=86&ne3=861160&es0=S&es1=S&es2=S&es3=N&ms=S|title=Dipartimento per gli Affari Interni e Territoriali|website=elezionistorico.interno.it}}</ref> Fontana, ineligible to run for reelection due to term limits,<ref>After two consecutive terms, a Mayor (and a President of Region) is not re-eligible for a third consecutive term: for more news, see ''Italian electoral law of 1993 for Comuni (2004 for Region)''</ref> left the office in June 2016.

===2018 presidential election===
====Speculation====
Some journalists in July 2016 speculated a nomination of Fontana as LN candidate in [[2018 Lombard regional election|2018 election]] for [[President of Lombardy]] if the [[incumbent]] ''Governor'' (President of Region) [[Roberto Maroni]] – who was elected in [[2013 Lombard regional election|2013 regional election]] for a five-year term with the support of [[Lega Lombarda]] and [[Lega Nord]], the parties of Maroni and Fontana, and with the support of the others parties members of the [[Centre-right coalition (Italy)#2013 general election|2013 center right coalition]] – will not run for a second consecutive (and final) term; in January 2018, when Maroni announced his retirement from politics, Fontana was selected as Centre-right (composed by [[Forza Italia (2013)|FI]], [[Lega Nord|LN]], [[Brothers of Italy|FdI]], [[Energies for Italy|EpL]], [[Us with Italy|NcI]] and his [[Civic list (Italy)|civic personal list]] named "Fontana List" composed by members of [[Pensioners' Party (Italy)|PP]], [[Christian Revolution|RC]], [[National Movement for Sovereignty|MNS]] and also by civic, independent and non-partisans members) candidate to the Presidency of Lombardy. For the media, his experience as Mayor and [[Matteo Salvini|Salvini]]'s popularity are among the strengths of his candidacy.
====General Election====
{{see also|Lombard regional election, 2018}}
On 15 January 2018,<ref name=white/> Fontana stated that the [[Western culture]] was in danger<ref name=white/> due to the [[European migration crisis|migration flows]] from Africa.<ref name=white>{{cite web|url=http://www.ansa.it/english/news/politics/2018/01/15/white-race-at-risk-fontana-on-migrants-2_f044a79f-dc1e-43fa-aa42-d69c42f2e5cb.html|title=White race at risk - Fontana on migrants (2) - English|date=15 January 2018}}</ref> This created many protests as well as criticisms from the centre-left [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]] (PD) and the big tent anti-establishment [[Five Star Movement]] (M5S). Because of the controversy he apologised for his remarks, declaring that it was a slip of the tongue and an expressive error, not due to inherent racism of him or his party.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ansa.it/lombardia/notizie/2018/01/15/fontana-razza-bianca-a-rischio-per-i-migranti_bcda489a-d3fe-49d7-84f8-e20ac2c338ef.html|title=Attilio Fontana si scusa per la 'razza bianca' - Lombardia|date=15 January 2018}}</ref> Fontana's principal rivals were [[Giorgio Gori]] (PD) and [[Dario Violi]] (M5S).
On 4 March 2018 Fontana won 50% against Gori (29%) and Violi (17%) in the [[Lombard regional election, 2018|regional election]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.today/20180308025042/http://www.corriere.it/elezioni-2018/risultati-regionali/lombardia.shtml|title=Lombardia Risultati Regionali 2018}}</ref> and Fontana sworn in office as ''Governor'' on 26 March.
===Presidency of Lombardy (2018{{ndash}}present)===
In October 2018, Fontana blocked, with his legal authority of Lombardy President, a Muslim association from turning a former hospital chapel into a mosque.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/20220725064312/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-italy-mosque/italys-league-blocks-muslims-from-buying-and-converting-chapel-idUSKCN1N20LJ?fbclid=IwAR21SpiqraaZgbfDI0mW9QqHBquK8y9V0OQGoljyxss9M-svYzECefHXjoQ | title=Italy's League blocks Muslims from buying and converting chapel | Reu… }}</ref> In September 2020, a few weeks after the [[2020 Italian constitutional referendum|2020 constitutional referendum]] on the cut in the number of parliamentarians linked to the reform initiated by the [[Conte I Cabinet]] led by the League with M5S and concluded by the [[Conte II Cabinet]] led by the coalition between M5S and PD,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/20220728151351/https://osservatorioglobalizzazione.it/osservatorio/la-democrazia-non-e-un-costo-taglio-parlamentari/ | title=La democrazia non è un costo - Osservatorio Globalizzazione }}</ref> Fontana announces his vote against,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ansa.it/lombardia/notizie/2020/09/14/referendum-fontana-penso-proprio-di-votare-no_f17ceeb9-3669-40c4-8743-4881764380e5.html | title=Referendum: Fontana, penso proprio di votare no - Lombardia | date=14 September 2020 }}</ref> in dissent with the official line of the League (established by Salvini), lined up for the "Yes".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/20220728151256/https://www.lospecialegiornale.it/2020/08/27/referendum-nel-centrodestra-crescono-i-malumori-tutti-i-no-da-borghi-a-crosetto/?amp | title=Referendum, nel centrodestra crescono i malumori.

====Suspicion of abuse of power====
In May 2019 the Prosecutor Office of [[Milan]] started an investigation on Fontana due to [[abuse of power]] as President of Lombardy in a case of corruption,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.today/20200929202208/https://milano.corriere.it/notizie/politica/19_maggio_08/tangenti-lombardia-fontana-indagato-abuso-d-ufficio-53d46370-7116-11e9-90e5-1aa1d5fb0bf8.shtml|title = Tangenti in Lombardia, il governatore Fontana indagato per abuso d'ufficio|date = 5 August 2019}}</ref> but in March 2020 all the accusation falls and the case is definitively closed<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.today/20200929065125/https://www.msn.com/it-it/notizie/milano/abuso-ufficio-di-fontana-gip-archivia/ar-BB11NVxK/|title=Abuso ufficio di Fontana, gip archivia |website=www.msn.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611134550/https://www.msn.com/it-it/notizie/milano/abuso-ufficio-di-fontana-gip-archivia/ar-BB11NVxK/ |archive-date=2020-06-11}}</ref> as the appointment in question did not constitute a crime.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://archive.today/20200929065307/https://www.ilpost.it/2020/03/27/attilio-fontana-abuso-ufficio-archiviazione/| title = È stata archiviata l'indagine su Attilio Fontana per abuso d'ufficio - Il Post| date = 27 March 2020}}</ref>
====Suspicion of fraud in public supplies====
In July 2020 another investigation started, following the activities of Fontana, his wife and his brother in law during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.today/20200929065508/https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2020/07/24/news/fontana_indagato_camici-262818924/|title=Attilio Fontana indagato nell'inchiesta sulla fornitura di camici|date=24 July 2020}}</ref> Some journalists in September 2020 speculated a retirement of Fontana from politics in 2023 - similar to Maroni's retirement in 2018 - in favour of [[Giancarlo Giorgetti]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/20220728152023/https://www.dagospia.com/rubrica-3/politica/forse-salvini-ha-trovato-modo-disfarsi-giorgetti-ndash-due-318949.htm | title=Perche' salvini spinge giorgetti verso il pirellone - Politica }}</ref> or an early election due to the media hype due to the "Covid investigation", but [[Matteo Salvini]] (the Federal Secretary of Lega) prevented the resignment of Fontana from the Presidency of Lombardy and an early election.
On 2 December 2021, the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office requests the indictment of Fontana, for the crime of fraud in public supplies,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/20211202211034/https://www.fanpage.it/milano/caso-camici-la-procura-di-milano-ha-chiesto-il-rinvio-a-giudizio-per-attilio-fontana/ | title=Caso camici, la Procura di Milano ha chiesto il rinvio a giudizio per… }}</ref> after he had renounced being questioned by the investigators. On 13 May 2022 he was acquitted by the Milan GUP together with 4 other suspects (including his brother-in-law) because the fact does not exist.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ansa.it/lombardia/notizie/2022/05/13/caso-camici-gup-milano-fontana-prosciolto-con-altri-4_137f7f34-3a24-4f00-bd17-77de8902ec91.html | title=Caso camici, Attilio Fontana prosciolto - Lombardia | date=13 May 2022 }}</ref>
====Suspicion of self-laundering and misrepresentation====
In March 2021, Fontana was entered in the register of suspects of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office for self-laundering and false declaration in voluntary disclosure in reference to a suspected movement of money between Italy and Switzerland which took place starting from 2015.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://archive.today/20220728153706/https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2021/03/31/lombardia-il-governatore-fontana-indagato-per-autoriciclaggio-e-falsa-dichiarazione-in-voluntary-inoltra-una-rogatoria-in-svizzera-sul-suo-conto/6151574/ | title=Lombardia, il governatore Fontana indagato per autoriciclaggio e fals… | newspaper=Archive.ph }}</ref> In February 2022, the case was closed; for the investigating judge of Milan, there are not enough elements to support the accusation against Fontana.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/kr1kP | title=Archive.ph }}</ref>

Some journalists in July 2016 speculated a nomination of Fontana as LN candidate in [[2018 Lombard regional election|2018 election]] for [[President of Lombardy]] if the [[incumbent]] ''Governor'' (President of Region) [[Roberto Maroni]] – who was elected in [[2013 Lombard regional election|2013 regional election]] for a five-year term with the support of [[Lega Lombarda]] and [[Lega Nord]], the parties of Maroni and Fontana, and with the support of the others parties members of the [[Centre-right coalition (Italy)#2013 general election|2013 center right coalition]] – will not run for a second consecutive (and final) term; in January 2018, when Maroni announced his retirement from politics, Fontana was selected as Centre-right (composed by [[Forza Italia (2013)|FI]], [[Lega Nord|LN]], [[Brothers of Italy|FdI]], [[Energies for Italy|EpL]], [[Us with Italy|NcI]] and his [[Civic list (Italy)|civic personal list]] named "Fontana List" composed by members of [[Pensioners' Party (Italy)|PP]], [[Christian Revolution|RC]], [[National Movement for Sovereignty|MNS]] and also by civic, independent and non-partisans members) candidate to the Presidency of Lombardy. For the media, his experience as Mayor and [[Matteo Salvini|Salvini]]'s popularity are among the strengths of his candidacy.

====Suspicion of abuse of power====
In May 2019 the Prosecutor Office of [[Milan]] started an investigation on Fontana due to [[abuse of power]] as President of Lombardy in a case of corruption,<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://milano.corriere.it/notizie/politica/19_maggio_08/tangenti-lombardia-fontana-indagato-abuso-d-ufficio-53d46370-7116-11e9-90e5-1aa1d5fb0bf8.shtml|title = Tangenti in Lombardia, il governatore Fontana indagato per abuso d'ufficio|date = 5 August 2019|access-date = 8 September 2023|archive-date = 29 September 2020|archive-url = https://archive.ph/20200929202208/https://milano.corriere.it/notizie/politica/19_maggio_08/tangenti-lombardia-fontana-indagato-abuso-d-ufficio-53d46370-7116-11e9-90e5-1aa1d5fb0bf8.shtml|url-status = bot: unknown}}</ref> but in March 2020 all the accusation falls and the case is definitively closed<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.msn.com/it-it/notizie/milano/abuso-ufficio-di-fontana-gip-archivia/ar-BB11NVxK/ |title=Abuso ufficio di Fontana, gip archivia |website=www.msn.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611134550/https://www.msn.com/it-it/notizie/milano/abuso-ufficio-di-fontana-gip-archivia/ar-BB11NVxK/ |archive-date=2020-06-11 |access-date=2023-09-08 }}</ref> as the appointment in question did not constitute a crime.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.ilpost.it/2020/03/27/attilio-fontana-abuso-ufficio-archiviazione/| title = È stata archiviata l'indagine su Attilio Fontana per abuso d'ufficio - Il Post| date = 27 March 2020| access-date = 8 September 2023| archive-date = 29 September 2020| archive-url = https://archive.ph/20200929065307/https://www.ilpost.it/2020/03/27/attilio-fontana-abuso-ufficio-archiviazione/| url-status = bot: unknown}}</ref>
====Suspicion of fraud in public supplies====
In July 2020 another investigation started, following the activities of Fontana, his wife and his brother in law during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2020/07/24/news/fontana_indagato_camici-262818924/|title=Attilio Fontana indagato nell'inchiesta sulla fornitura di camici|date=24 July 2020|access-date=8 September 2023|archive-date=29 September 2020|archive-url=https://archive.ph/20200929065508/https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2020/07/24/news/fontana_indagato_camici-262818924/|url-status=bot: unknown}}</ref> Some journalists in September 2020 speculated a retirement of Fontana from politics in 2023 - similar to Maroni's retirement in 2018 - in favour of [[Giancarlo Giorgetti]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.dagospia.com/rubrica-3/politica/forse-salvini-ha-trovato-modo-disfarsi-giorgetti-ndash-due-318949.htm | title=Perche' salvini spinge giorgetti verso il pirellone - Politica | access-date=2023-09-08 | archive-date=2022-07-28 | archive-url=https://archive.ph/20220728152023/https://www.dagospia.com/rubrica-3/politica/forse-salvini-ha-trovato-modo-disfarsi-giorgetti-ndash-due-318949.htm | url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> or an early election due to the media hype due to the "Covid investigation", but [[Matteo Salvini]] (the Federal Secretary of Lega) prevented the resignment of Fontana from the Presidency of Lombardy and an early election.

====Suspicion of self-laundering and misrepresentation====
In March 2021, Fontana was entered in the register of suspects of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office for self-laundering and false declaration in voluntary disclosure in reference to a suspected movement of money between Italy and Switzerland which took place starting from 2015.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2021/03/31/lombardia-il-governatore-fontana-indagato-per-autoriciclaggio-e-falsa-dichiarazione-in-voluntary-inoltra-una-rogatoria-in-svizzera-sul-suo-conto/6151574/ | title=Lombardia, il governatore Fontana indagato per autoriciclaggio e fals… | newspaper=Archive.ph | access-date=2023-09-08 | archive-date=2022-07-28 | archive-url=https://archive.ph/20220728153706/https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2021/03/31/lombardia-il-governatore-fontana-indagato-per-autoriciclaggio-e-falsa-dichiarazione-in-voluntary-inoltra-una-rogatoria-in-svizzera-sul-suo-conto/6151574/ | url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> In February 2022, the case was closed; for the investigating judge of Milan, there are not enough elements to support the accusation against Fontana.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.today/kr1kP | title=Archive.ph }}</ref>
