The Valdostan Renaissance (French: La Renaissance Valdôtaine, LRV) is a political party active in Aosta Valley, Italy.
History
The party was formed in 2020, as the local branch of Renaissance, under the name of Renaissance Aosta Valley (Italian: Rinascimento Valle d'Aosta).
In the 2020 municipal election in Aosta the party won 25.7% of the vote and four seats, while party leader Giovanni Girardini ran for mayor,[2] being defeated with 46.7% of the vote in the run-off.[3] In the 2020 Valdostan regional election the party won 5.0% of the vote and no seats.
In May 2022 the party held its first congress, during which it changed its name to The Valdostan Renaissance.[4][5][6]
In the 2022 general election Girardini ran for the Chamber of Deputies, winning 11.9% of the vote.[7]
In May 2024 the party's assembly confirmed Girardini as president.[8][9][10] Later that year, LRV, Edelweiss, the Valdostan Rally, For Autonomy and minor groups started negotiations for a "centrist, liberal-democratic and reformist" coalition,[11] but, finally, LRV opted to join the regional centre-right coalition instead.
In the 2025 Valdostan regional election the party ran in a joint list with Forza Italia (FI),[12][13] obtaining 10.0% of the vote and four regional councillors, including LRV's Eleonora Baccini. In the concurring 2025 municipal election in Aosta Girardini ran again for mayor, with the support of the entire centre-right coalition, being narrowly defeated in the run-off.> After the elections, FI joined the new regional government led by Renzo Testolin of the Valdostan Union (UV),[14] while LRV did not. After that, LRV formed a separate group in the Council of the Valley.[15]
