1990 Piedmontese regional election

The 1990 Piedmontese regional election took place on 6–7 May 1990.

Events

Christian Democracy and the Italian Communist Party lost many votes, especially to the green and regionalist parties. After the election to the Regional Council of Piedmont, Gian Paolo Brizio, a Christian Democrat, continued the Pentapartito government comprising the Italian Socialist Party, the Italian Liberal Party, the Italian Republican Party, and the Italian Democratic Socialist Party. In 1994, following the Tangentopoli-crisis and the dissolution of Christian Democracy, Brizio, who had joined to the Italian People's Party, formed a new government that included the Democratic Party of the Left, which was the successor party of the Communists, and the Socialists.
