		Il primo governo di Silvio Berlusconi con cui la Lega Nord si era alleata si rifiuta poi di attuare le promesse di autonomia delle amministrazioni locali, causando una crisi, il cosiddetto ribaltone che porta alla caduta del governo e a nuove elezioni.
		Alle elezioni politiche del 1996 la Lega Nord si presenta da sola, conquistando il 10,4% dei voti a livello nazionale e 87 parlamentari.
		Il 15 settembre 1996 la Lega Nord, spinta verso idee piu estremiste rivolte al secessionismo della Padania, organizza una manifestazione lungo il fiume Po il cui culmine si tiene a Venezia dove Umberto Bossi giura sulla libertà della Padania.

	Northern League (Italy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Northern League (Italian: Lega Nord) is an Italian political party that advocates autonomy for a part of Northern Italy they call Padania (see the article for usage of the name).
		The movement was founded in 1989, and became part of a governing coalition for the first time in Silvio Berlusconi's government in 1994; the League was instrumental to its demise by the end of the year.
		The exact program of Lega Nord was not clear in the early years: some opponents claimed it wanted secession in Yugoslav style, other times it appeared they simply requested more autonomy for northern regions.

	Lega Sud Standing Up for Italy's Whites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lega Sud -- the Southern League -- is Southern Italy's regional counterpart to Umberto Bossi's successful Northern League (Lega Nord), which seeks greater federal autonomy for what it calls Padania.
		Both the Lega Sud and Lega Nord present an alternative to traditional nationalist thinking in Italy, which has looked to the centralized (and increasingly corrupt) central government as the source of legitimacy.
		Lega Sud voices the grievances of Southern Italians, which are remarkably similar to those of American Southrons, seeing the North as economically dominating, arrogant and cosmopolitan, alien to the soil-based, ancient Southern culture.

		The problems which fuelled the rise of the Lega Nord in the early 90s have certainly not been solved; everyone in the Italian political arena now talks of decentralization and federalism, the League's keywords, but nothing has been done yet.
		The South of Italy is not closer to the North today than it was 5 years ago, and this is still the main factor preventing Italy from being a full member of the European Union.
		Building the future federation of Europe, as well as rewriting the Italian Constitution, will be the future goals of the Lega Nord and of the other federalistic movements in the Continent.

		The Lega Nord, a protest movement with some ideological elements ranging from xenophobia and racism to independence from the rest of Italy and a general loath of the political system, became the strongest political force in Northern Italy.

	Three Monkeys Bossi's Lega Nord - history and myth
		Much has been written about the rise to power of Umberto Bossi's Lega Nord, but surprisingly little in the way of research has been done to examine the connection hinted at by the Lega with its medieval counterparts.
		Lega Nord is in fact a composite organisation made up of a number of smaller groups sharing common aims with regard to de-centralisation of government and federalism.
		The Lega's image as anti-establishment inheritors of the Lombard League's mantle is surely too tarnished to work at this stage, historical accuracy apart, as members of Berlusconi's government.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Italian Parliament
		The Lega Nord ran alone in the election, while the PPI split over the issue of coalition deals: a group led by Rocco Buttiglione attempted to align the Popolari with the center-right cartel, but an opposing faction won control of the party, which finally joined the center-left coalition.
		Shortly after the 1996 legislative elections, the Lega Nord - which emerged from the poll as the largest single group in northern Italy - began to advocate the outright secession of the north from the rest of the country.
		Although Berlusconi's ruling coalition survived frequent (and since 2003 noticeably louder) threats by Lega Nord leader Umberto Bossi to bring down the government unless he got his way, in April 2005 the House of Freedoms was trounced in regional elections, winning only in two of the thirteen (subsequently fourteen) regions holding a vote.

		Despite criticism by some of his allies who feared the regional administrative character of the polls might be perverted, he had implicitly accepted to transform this competition into a vote in favor or against his government.
		In these elections the center-right allied with the Lega Nord and submitted a federalist project that was clearly accepted by voters of the South too.
		In 1994 Umberto Bossi's Lega Nord allied with the Polo della Libertà government, but after a few months withdrew the vote of confidence granted to Berlusconi's government that was thus overthrown.

		The first time Italy realised the new party was on February 8th, 1991, when Umberto Bossi was elected Secretary of the Lega Nord.
		But we only really got struck by its presence in June 1991 at Pontida (where in 1167 the Lega Lombarda was created in order to stop Barbarossa's invasion), the Lega Nord declared the "Repubblica del Nord" with the clear intention to divide Italy into three federalist states.
		6rom that time on, the Lega Nord seemed to grow in popularity among the voting population, probably thanks to the talkative immediacy of its leader and the decreasing power of all the main parties, more than to its not so feasible programme.

		The aim of the Lega Nord campaign against the union confederations is to entice members of Cgil, Cisl and Uil from their respective trade unions and to join the new Lega trade union, Sindacato Padano (SinPa).

		After a subsidiary of the Berlusconi empire granted a loan to relieve the waning finances of Lega Nord, Bossi agreed to return to an alliance with Berlusconi, which ultimately led to the (this time, easily predicted) 2001 electoral victory.

	MotherJones SO93: The fall of Rome
		The primary instrument of this revolution is the Lega Nord, or "Northern League," an organization that insists it is not a political party and that its members are not politicians.
		In late 1989, the Lega (then known as the Lombard League, after the province where it was born) had a single seat in Parliament, held by maverick founder Umberto Bossi, and was virtually unheard of outside the most erudite circles of Italian political analysis.
		In a continental Europe where rock-solid mass institutions and centralized national government have been articles of unflinching faith for decades, the new Italian politics is violently anti-institutional, dead set against the very notion of a political class, and local to the point of denying that nations have any useful function at all.

		Instead, it has a reproduction of the Etruscan Chimera known also as "the Chimera of Arezzo" since it was found in 1553 near the town of Arezzo (in eastern Tuscany) a bronze sculpture which is considered a masterpiece of the Etruscan art (now it is at the Archaeological Museum in Florence).
