Lega Nord (transl. Northern League; acronym: LN), whose complete name is Lega Nord per l'Indipendenza della Padania (transl. Northern League for the Independence of Padania), is a right-wing, federalist, populist and conservative political party in Italy. In the run-up of the 2018 general election, the party was rebranded as Lega (transl. League), without changing its official name. The party was nonetheless frequently referred to only as "Lega" even before the rebranding, and informally as the Carroccio (transl. big chariot). The party's latest elected leader was Matteo Salvini.
