Azione forms a group in Circoscrizione 5
Date of the event:
On 9 November 2026 district councillors Antonio Canino and Enrico Crescimanno join the Azione party and announce the formation of a party group on the council of Circoscrizione 5, the Turin district (Circoscrizione) covering the Borgo Vittoria, Madonna di Campagna, Lucento and Vallette neighbourhoods. The move follows a meeting between the two councillors and Azione's national deputy secretary, Ettore Rosato [1].
Forming the group
In the new group, Canino is named group leader (capogruppo) and Crescimanno, already the district's president, deputy group leader. Notice of the group's formation, with the two roles assigned, is to be submitted to the district council for acknowledgement [1].
Statements
Sergio Bartoli, provisional city coordinator of Azione Torino and a regional councillor for Piedmont, says the city coordination body will support the group's work, acting as a link between the district, the City and the Region on matters requiring the involvement of more than one institution [1]. Dario Basso, Azione's regional coordinator for local authorities, says the formation of the group strengthens the party's presence in local institutions and that the regional coordination body will put the two councillors in contact with other Azione administrators across Piedmont [1].
Priorities
Canino names road maintenance, the upkeep of parks and gardens, and safety around schools as priorities, with the aim of telling residents who is responsible for each measure and on what timeline [1]. Crescimanno stresses the importance of following up requests even after they are discussed in the council chamber, pointing to the contribution of local associations and schools in identifying the priorities to bring to the City [1].
