New Movement (Italian: Nuovo Movimento) was a political party active in Sardinia founded in 1997 by the entrepreneur Nicola Grauso.
The New Movement was founded in 1997 by the entrepreneur Nicola Grauso, former creator of one of the first internet service providers in Italy, "Video On Line", with access points in every corner of the Italian province.
The movement was founded after a failed attempt by Grauso to relaunch, together with other Sardinian entrepreneurs, the important paper mill based in Arbatax, in Ogliastra, coming into conflict with the center-left regional government of Sardinia led by Federico Palomba.
In the 1999 Sardinian regional elections the New Movement appeared in the center-right coalition in support of Mauro Pili, obtaining two seats, including Grauso.
in December 2002 Grauso resigned from the position of regional councilor, motivating his decision with the need to directly follow the numerous judicial processes in which he was involved.
