Green Italia


Green Italia was a green political party in Italy. The party was founded in June 2013 by a heterogeneous group of politicians, notably including Monica Frassoni, Fabio Granata and Flavia Perina, Roberto Della Seta and Francesco Ferrante, Marco Boato, Fiorello Cortiana and Anna Donati, as well as green economy entrepreneurs, intellectuals and activists. Granata left the party in November 2017 to join Diventerà Bellissima for the 2017 Sicilian regional election.
For the 2014 European Parliament election the party presented joint lists with the Greens, under the name European Greens – Green Italia. The list obtained a mere 0.9% of the vote—and 6.0% among Italians abroad. In the municipal election of Padua Francesco Fiore, a member of GI's national board, came fourth with 9.9% at the head of a civic list.
In the 2019 European Parliament election the party ran along with the Federation of the Greens as Green Europe. The list received 2.3% of the vote, quite an improvement from 2014, but still not enough to exceed the 4% threshold.
In 2019–2020 GI was joined by two deputies, Rossella Muroni and Lorenzo Fioramonti, as well as Elly Schlein.
In the 2022 Italian general election former MEP Elly Schlein was elected to the Chamber of Deputies as the first candidate on the Democratic Party – Democratic and Progressive Italy list for the multi-member constituency Emilia Romagna 02.
After Elly Schlein's victory in the Democratic Party Leadership Elections 2023, Annalisa Corrado joined the Democratic Party, Carmine Maturo continues his environmental battles in associations with Gentle Green Events and Slow Food in Naples.
