The 1975 Piedmontese regional election took place on 15 June 1975. Ten new seats were added to the Regional Council of Piedmont following the 1971 census.
Events
Christian Democracy resulted narrowly behind the Italian Communist Party, which was the real winner of the election. After the election, the Italian Socialist Party, which had been a junior partner in the Christian Democracy-led regional government since 1970, switched sides and formed a coalition with the Communists. The new regional government, composed of Communists and Socialists, was led by a Socialist, Aldo Viglione. Piedmont was thus the first and only region of Northern Italy, along with neighbouring Liguria, to have a left-wing government.
