Fassa Association (Associazione Fassa), often referred simply as Fassa, is a minor Christian-democratic[1] political party in Trentino, Italy. The party seeks to represent the Ladin minority[1] in the Province and especially Ladins living in Fassa Valley.

History

Fassa was formed as Fassa List (Lista Fassa) in August 2008 as a centre-right alternative to the centre-left Ladin Autonomist Union (UAL),[2] which used to garner a large majority of Ladin votes in Fassa Valley. Its first leader was Gino Fontana, mayor of Vigo di Fassa and, formerly, provincial councillor for Daisy Civic List, a centrist party aligned with the centre-left.[citation needed] A year later, the List was institutionalised and became a fully fledged party under the current name.[2]

In the 2008 provincial election, the party won 0.61% of the vote (26.63% in Fassa Valley).[3]

In March 2012, Elena Testor [it] was elected president of the party and Luca Guglielmi secretary.[4] In September 2013, Riccardo Franceschetti, mayor of Moena and leading member of the UAL, left his party to join Fassa.[5]

In the 2013 provincial election, the party won 0.83% of the vote (31.89% in Fassa Valley).[6]

In the 2015 Fassa community election, the party prevailed over the UAL and Testor was elected Procuradora (President of the Fassa community).[7][8]

In the 2016 Italian constitutional referendum, Fassa supported the No,[9] which won with 57.9% of the votes in the Fassa valley.[10][failed verification]

In the 2018 general election, Testor affiliated to Forza Italia,[11] and was elected to the Italian Senate from the single-seat constituency of Pergine Valsugana.[12][13]
