Open Aosta Valley (Italian: Valle d'Aosta Aperta) is a left-wing regionalist coalition of political parties active in Aosta Valley, Italy.

History

In the 2022 general election, Five Star Movement, Democratic Area – Autonomist Left (AD–GA), Environment Rights Equality (ADU) and Italian Left (SI) formed Open VdA and nominated Erika Guichardaz (AD-GA) for the Chamber and Daria Pulz (ADU) for the Senate.[3][4] ADU and SI already united by a federative pact.[5] Guichardaz and Pulz obtained 10.9% and 10.0% of the vote, respectively.

In December 2024, Open VdA announced its intention to run on a joint list for the 2025 regional election.[6] In February 2025, Guichardaz stated that Progressive Civic Project "ceased to exist" and excluded running on a list which goes from Civic Network, via Power to the People to Legambiente.[7] On 22 April 2025, Civic Network announced that will run with Italian Left as Greens and Left Alliance.[8] Socialist Risorgimento and Communist Refoundation Party joined Open VdA the same day.[9]
