IdV was even tempted by running a solitary campaign: Abruzzo was in fact a stronghold for the party, whose leader Antonio Di Pietro came from neighbouring Molise. However, in late October, the PD agreed to support Costantini at the head of a large centre-left coalition, comprising also the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC), the Party of Italian Communists (PdCI), the Federation of the Greens and the Socialist Party (PS).http://www.asca.it/moddettnews.php?idnews=786879&canale=ORA&articolo=ABRUZZO%2FELEZIONI%3A%20IL%20CENTROSINISTRA%20PUNTA%20TUTTO%20SU%20COSTANTINI%20%28IDV%29 ABRUZZO/ELEZIONI: IL CENTROSINISTRA PUNTA TUTTO SU COSTANTINI (IDV) - Agenzia di stampa Asca 2018-09-30 https://web.archive.org/web/20090512103259/http://www.asca.it/moddettnews.php?idnews=786879&canale=ORA&articolo=ABRUZZO%2FELEZIONI%3A%20IL%20CENTROSINISTRA%20PUNTA%20TUTTO%20SU%20COSTANTINI%20%28IDV%29 2009-05-12 dead The PD tried to woo also the UDC in the centre-left coalition, but the UDC refused any alliance with populist IdV and decided to run its own candidate, Rodolfo De Laurentiis. http://www.repubblica.it/ultimora/24ore/ABRUZZO-CESA-IDV-E-PD-OK-MA-CON-NOSTRO-CANDIDATO/news-dettaglio/3361495 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110605233239/http://www.repubblica.it/ultimora/24ore/ABRUZZO-CESA-IDV-E-PD-OK-MA-CON-NOSTRO-CANDIDATO/news-dettaglio/3361495 2011-06-05 ABRUZZO: CESA, IDV E PD?
