Change of political group in Turin's Centri civici (September 2026)

Between late September and early October 2026, four councillors of Turin's district councils (Circoscrizioni) changed political group ahead of the next local elections. The moves affected Centri civici (district assemblies) 3, 6 and 7 and altered the internal balance of those assemblies.^[1]

District 6

On 23 September 2026, councillor Giulia Zaccaro, elected in 2021 with Torino Bellissima and later moving to the Lega, joined the new centre-right majority group "Scienza ambiente e futuro" (Science, Environment and Future), together with councillor Michele Celentano, who came from "Verso i Moderati".^[1]

District 3

Councillor Stefano Bolognesi, one of the Fratelli d'Italia representatives in the district, joined the minority Gruppo Misto (mixed group). In a statement he said he intended to complete his term in office and then leave politics.^[1]

District 7

Two moves were recorded in the same district. Councillor Daniele Moiso, a member of the district assembly since 2011, left the Gruppo Misto to join Fratelli d'Italia; group leader Patrizia Alessi described his arrival as the start of cooperation on local policy issues.^[1] Councillor Maurizia Stefania Cabbia moved instead from the majority Gruppo Misto to the group of the Partito Democratico (Democratic Party), which thus rose to ten members in the district assembly.^[1]
