La Civica was founded in 2019, following the death of
Rodolfo Borga, founder and leader of the
Trentino Civic List, by provincial assessor
Mattia Gottardi and provincial councilor
Vanessa Masè, who considered their former party formally closed. Gottardi and Masè also explained that for structural, formal, organizational and legal reasons, the logo of the Trentino Civic List would no longer be usable for future elections. The decision to close the former party was contested by Antonio Coradello, city councilor in Trento, who harshly criticized Gottardi and Masé and declared that the Trentino Civic List was still active. In the
2023 provincial election, the party won 4.9% of the vote and two councillors, Gottardi and Masè. In the
2024 European Parliament election, the party supported the
South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP). In June 2025 the party was joined by two more provincial councillors,
Carlo Daldoss and
Christian Girardi, most recently elected with
Brothers of Italy. ==Leadership==
