Patto Civico per la Granda
Patto Civico per la Granda is a civic association active in the province of Cuneo, bringing together local administrators engaged outside party lines. In November 2026 it puts forward, for the second time, its own list of candidates for the elections to renew the Cuneo Provincial Council [1].
The list for the Provincial Council
The list is made up of 12 administrators from as many municipalities in the province, six women and six men. Its members are Mauro Arnaudo, deputy mayor of Dronero; Daniela Francesca Biolatto, city councillor of Racconigi; Ivana Margherita Casale, mayor of Manta and outgoing provincial councillor; Graziamaria Creazzo, deputy mayor of Castelletto Stura; Pietro Danna, city councillor of Monastero di Vasco and outgoing provincial councillor; Silvano Dovetta, mayor of Venasca and chair of the Varaita Valley mountain union (Unione montana), also an outgoing provincial councillor; Umberto Ferrondi, deputy mayor of Cherasco; Serena Garelli, city councillor of Cuneo; Enrica Giraudo, mayor of Robilante and chair of the Alpi Marittime mountain union; Lorena Niello, municipal councillor responsible for a department (assessore) in Montezemolo; Alberto Pettavino, city councillor of Savigliano and the association's chair; Paolo Piccinelli, mayor of Neive [1].
Pettavino, a candidate and the association's chair, stresses that being civic "does not mean being an alternative to parties but working outside ideological divides to solve small and large problems that have no party colour", hoping that administrators from the centre-right and centre-left coalitions will also get involved [1]. On the same occasion he thanks outgoing provincial councillor Vincenzo Pellegrino, who after five years in office chose not to stand again [1].
Public presentation and programme
The official presentation of the list is set for Saturday 14 November 2026 at 11.30am at the Sala Polivalente CDT in Cuneo, at largo Barale 1. The meeting also stems from an invitation by Luca Robaldo, the coalition's candidate for Province president, with whom the association intends to build the term's programme together with the coalition's other lists [2].
Among the issues Patto Civico per la Granda intends to raise with Robaldo are school buildings, with a request for funding beyond the PNRR (national recovery plan) for new facilities and maintenance of existing ones, and roads, with the updating of old road-widening projects to be proposed to the Region and the State. The association also calls for strengthening the Province's staff and introducing a corporate welfare plan for the body's employees [2].
