Azione is re-establishing a local presence in the Sannio after an earlier, brief appearance, according to NTR24. Pio Canu is presented as the party's city-level leader in Benevento, alongside Filomena Di Mezza and Vincenzo Regardi in provincial and regional roles.
Canu frames the objective as building a long-term, pragmatic alternative to the current Benevento administration rather than merely assembling electoral numbers. NTR24 reports that Azione leader Carlo Calenda is expected to visit Benevento soon. No date or programme for the visit has yet been reported.
Azione and Fratelli d'Italia have begun discussions aimed at developing an alternative political and administrative proposal for Benevento ahead of the 2027 municipal elections, according to Ottopagine and Anteprima24. The proposed agenda includes economic development, cultural heritage, public-service efficiency, peripheral areas and a long-term strategic vision.
The parties say the process should involve civic groups, professionals, workers and wider civil society. Azione has also participated in a broader centre-liberal and reformist dialogue involving the Partito Liberaldemocratico and civic actors, according to L'Eco del Sannio.
No finalized coalition, electoral list or candidate for 2027 has been announced.
