In early September 2026, the political movements Controcorrente and Progetto Civico Italia formed a new alliance during a summit in Agrigento. This coalition, referred to as the ‘Agrigento Model’, aims to establish a progressive alternative to the Sicilian regional government and the national Meloni administration by building a ‘campo largo’ (broad field) coalition. Following this development, local political figures addressed rumors of shifting alliances in Agrigento. Pasquale Spataro, a municipal councilor for Fratelli d'Italia, denied any political alliance or dialogue with Mayor Michele Sodano, rejecting what he termed “unnatural alliances” formed for the purpose of securing political office. Mayor Sodano similarly maintained a distinction between institutional cooperation and formal political agreements with center-right parties. By late September, the alliance expanded its coordination efforts. Leaders from Controcorrente and Progetto Civico Italia met in Castellana Sicula to strategize for upcoming elections, focusing on issues affecting Sicily’s internal areas. During this assembly, the regional secretariat for Controcorrente was officially presented, featuring deputies Ismaele La Vardera, José Marano, Alessandro De Leo, and Carlo Gilistro. Key figures involved in the movement’s leadership include founders Gandolfo Lo Verde, Marianna Piazza, and Filippo Occhipinti, alongside Progetto Civico Italia’s regional secretary, Carmelo Miceli.
