Its main leaders were Elio Riccarand, founder and coordinator until 2008,[1] and Paolo Fedi, coordinator from 2008 to 2010.
[2] Riccarand, who had been elected with the "New Left" list in the 1988 regional election, switched his affiliation to "Alternative Green" in 1990.
[1] In the 1998 regional election the party teamed up with For Aosta Valley, which obtained 6.8% of the vote, and had two regional councillors elected.
[3] The Alternative Greens were the major force within the Rainbow Aosta Valley (AVdA) left-wing coalition, which included also the Communist Refoundation Party, the Party of Italian Communists, Democratic Left (since 2007) and several minor local groups.
[4][5] In 2010 the Alternative Greens, which had been part of Autonomy Liberty Democracy in general elections since 2006, distanced from the far left and were merged into a new party named Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (ALPE), along with other two progressive parties, Valdostan Renewal and Vallée d'Aoste Vive.
