Summary/Abstract: The Northern League for Independence of Padania is the one of the Italian's parties, which occurred in 1979 in Lombardy (one of the richest region in Northern Italy). The principal goal of that party was to change the territorial system in Italy for the federalism and in consequence to give more political power for the regions. The only way for creation of the federal system in Italy was to change the Constitution and present projects of the reforms. One of it was the devolution which signifies the transfer of competences from the state level to the regional administration. The Italian Parliament accepted the project of devolution but the final approval depended on citizens in the referendum which Lega lost in 2006. Another project presented by the League introduces the fiscal federalism which concerns how expenditures and fiscal instruments are allocated across different levels of the administration.
