The Italian regional elections of 2010 took place on 28–29 March in 13 regions, including nine of the ten largest ones: Lombardy, Campania, Veneto, Lazio, Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Apulia, Tuscany and Calabria.

Overview

The elections turned out to be a competition between two rival coalitions centered around the two major parties: The People of Freedom (PdL), led by Silvio Berlusconi, and the Democratic Party (PD), led by Pier Luigi Bersani. The third-largest party in Italy, the Northern League (whose main regional sections — Liga Veneta, Lega Lombarda, and Lega Piemont — played major roles in Veneto, Lombardy, and Piedmont, respectively), supported joint candidates with the PdL in Northern and Central Italy.

The centre-right coalition went on to win the elections, gaining four additional regions, although the centre-left coalition maintained control of seven out of thirteen regions.

Beppe Grillo’s Five Star Movement (M5S) also had a strong showing in Emilia-Romagna.
