The Valdotanian Rally (Rassemblement Valdôtain, RV) was a conservative Italian political party active in Aosta Valley.
In 1963 a group of conservative members of the Valdotanian Union formed the Valdotanian Independent Rally (RIV) and won 3.3% of the vote in a regional election. In 1967 RIV merged with other conservative groups in order to form RV. Under the new name the party won 5.4% of the vote in the 1968 regional election and 1.6% in 1973. During all its lifetime RIV/RV was a minor ally of Christian Democracy in the Region.
Famous quotes containing the word rally:
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
