Lega Umbria (English: Umbria League), whose complete name is Lega Umbria per Salvini Premier (English: Umbria League for Salvini Premier), is a regionalist political party active in Umbria. The party was a "national" section of Lega Nord (LN) from 1991 to 2000 and has been the regional section of Lega per Salvini Premier (LSP) in Umbria since 2020.

Since September 2023 the party has been led by Riccardo Augusto Marchetti. One of its leading members, Donatella Tesei, has been serving as President of Umbria since November 2019.

Recent history

In the 2010 Umbrian regional election the party obtained 4.3% and entered the Regional Council for the first time with a regional councillor,[1] while in 2015 it obtained 14.0% and, despite a reduction of the Council's numbers, two councillors.[2]

In the 2018 general election the party won 20.2% of the vote regionally[3] and in the subsequent municipal election Leonardo Latini, a leghista, was elected mayor of Terni, the region's second largest city.[4]

In 2018 Virginio Caparvi was elected secretary.[5][6]

In the 2019 European Parliament election the party increased its share to 38.2%.

In the 2019 regional election the party fielded Donatella Tesei as candidate for president. She was handily elected with 57.6% of the vote and a 20% lead over its main opponent, Vincenzo Bianconi, who was the candidate of a joint list of the centre-left coalition and the Five Star Movement.[7] The LNT and the "Tesei President" list won a combined 40.9% of the vote. The election ended 49 years of governments led by the Italian Communist Party and its successors.

In 2023 Riccardo Augusto Marchetti was elected secretary,[8][9] after Caparvi's decision to step aside.[10]

The party is a tiny one among the national sections of the LN, but it is recently gaining clout.
