The Greens Greens (Verdi Verdi) is a liberal-environmentalist political party in Italy. The party is predominantly active in Piedmont.[citation needed]

The party was founded in January 1991 by Maurizio Lupi, a physical education teacher and former member of Christian Democracy and of Federation of the Greens.[1][2]

The party took part in Italian elections for the first time at the 1992 general election. The party got 0.07% of the vote in the Chamber of Deputies and 0.09% in the Senate.[3][4] In 1997, Lupi ran as mayor of Turin, receiving 0.74% of the votes, while his party got 0.81% of the votes.[5] In 1999, the party ran in Turin provincial election, getting 0.38% of the votes.[6]

In 2003, the party's local representative Roberto De Santis received 0.5% of the votes in Rome provincial election.[7] In 2004, the party took part in the European Parliament elections with a joint list (called "Abolizione Scorporo"), together with the Federalist Greens.[8][9] The list got only 0.49% of the votes.[10]

At the 2004 Turin provincial election, the Greens Greens supported the centre-right candidate Franco Botta; the founder Maurizio Lupi chose to run instead with an unrelated, independent list.[11]

In the 2005 Piedmontese regional elections, the Greens Greens supported the centre-right candidate Enzo Ghigo;[12] the list got 1.16% of the votes, winning one seat for its leader Maurizio Lupi.[13][1] In the 2006 general elections, the party ran as part of the House of Freedoms coalition, getting only 0.04% of the votes in the Chamber of Deputies election and 0.11% of votes in the Senate election.[14][15] In the 2008 general elections, Alessandro Lupi ran for the Chamber as part of The People of Freedom list, but wasn't elected.[citation needed] In the 2009 Turin provincial election, the party supported the candidate Renzo Rabellino, leader of the No Euro Movement; the list got only 0.39% of the votes.[16] In the 2010 Piedmontese regional elections, the Greens Greens supported centre-right candidate Roberto Cota, getting 1.76% of the votes and one seat and outperforming for the first time[citation needed] the Federation of the Greens, which received only 0.76% of the votes.[17] In the 2014 Piedmontese regional elections, the party supported the candidate of Forza Italia Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, but got only 0.27% of the votes.[18]

In 2016, Maurizio Lupi and his daughter Sara were sentenced for expenditures fraud.[19][20]
