Source-derived summary

Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (French: Autonomie, Liberté, Participation, Écologie, ALPE) was a regionalist political party active in Aosta Valley, Italy, whose progressive ideology mixes elements of social democracy and green politics. The party was a member of the European Free Alliance.

History

ALPE was founded in January 2010 by the merger of five groups:

Valdostan Renewal (RV, social-liberal);

Vallée d'Aoste Vive (VdA, social-liberal);

Alternative Greens (VAVdA, green, regional section of the Greens);

a group of former Democrats of the Left (DS, social-democratic);

previously un-attached people of the civil society.

Carlo Perrin, a former senator, was elected first co-ordinator, later president, of the party.

In the 2013 Italian general election ALPE was part of the Autonomy Liberty Democracy (ALD) coalition and ALPE's Patrizia Morelli stood for the Senate, but both ALD candidates (the other being Jean-Pierre Guichardaz of the Democratic Party) were defeated. In the 2013 regional election ALPE obtained 12.4% of the vote and 5 seats in the Regional Council.

In March 2017 ALPE, along with the Progressive Valdostan Union (UVP), Edelweiss (SA), and For Our Valley (PNV) formed a new cabinet without the Valdostan Union (UV), under President Pierluigi Marquis (SA). ALPE, which entered the regional government for the first time, was represented by Albert Chatrian as minister of Budget and Finances, Fabrizio Roscio minister of Productive Activities, and Chantal Certan minister of Education and Culture. Marquis' government lasted only until October, when it was replaced by an UVP-led government without ALPE.

In the 2018 general election ALPE unsuccessfully took part within the For All alliance, along with SA and PNV.

In the 2018 regional election ALPE obtained 9.0% and three seats. After the election, the Regional Council elected Nicoletta Spelgatti of Lega Nord Valle d'Aosta (LNVdA) as President, at the head of a broad left-right coalition, comprising SA–PNV, ALPE, Mouv' and one defector from UV's ranks.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “regionalist political party active in Aosta Valley, Italy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2482138. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2018.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
