Stefania Proietti, a Catholic and environmentalist leader, has successfully led the center-left coalition to victory in the Umbria regional elections.

Known for her background in mechanical and energy engineering, Proietti, the mayor of Assisi, managed to unite various political factions, including the Democratic Party, M5S, and Italia Viva, under her leadership.

Her campaign focused on effective governance and addressing the healthcare issues in the region, which resonated with voters.

Proietti's win marks a significant shift in Umbria's political landscape, reclaiming the region from the previous right-wing administration.

Celebrations erupted in Perugia, where Proietti emphasized the importance of integrity and the antifascist values of the Italian Constitution.
