Domà Nunch ('only us' in Lombard) was an eco-nationalist social movement that has been active under different forms in Insubria, across the border between Italy and Switzerland, between 2005 and 2020.
Association
Domà Nunch was founded in 2005 as a spin-off project of the Moviment Spiritual Riformaa di Nativ d'Insubria (Reformed Spiritual Movement of Insubria's Natives), previously created in 2003 by Lorenzo Banfi,{{cite news|title="Documento: Il Movimento Spirituale Riformato dei Nativi d'Insubria")|url=http://www.cesnur.org/2003/insubria.htm}} renewing and reissuing El Dragh Bloeu (The Blue Dragon), which then became the official magazine of the new association.http://www.eldraghbloeu.eu {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120814021050/http://www.eldraghbloeu.eu/ |date=14 August 2012 }} Website closed in 2013 Lorenzo Banfi, linguist and author, led Domà Nunch as president as soon as the organisation got expanded in 2007. Domà Nunch believed in self-determination and independence of Insubria as way to preserve the heritage, history, language and environment of the region.{{cite news|title=Provincia dell'Insubria? Lavoriamo per una Comunità Nazionale!|url=http://www.domanunch.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=245&Itemid=331|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729030132/http://www.domanunch.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=245&Itemid=331|url-status=usurped|archive-date=29 July 2012}} It also promotes the re-unification of portions of Insubria presently split among Lombardy, Piedmont, and Switzerland. However, Domà Nunch never or limited defined itself to belong to the traditional independentist political area, rather outlining to be a "national" movement.{{cite news|title=Lorenzo Banfi: "E' il momento di fare qualcosa di concreto per una rivoluzione epocale"|url=http://www.domanunch.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=260:restaurada-la-conchetta-i-barch-a-tornen-in-gesa-rossa-&catid=86:notizie&Itemid=267|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150219230236/http://www.domanunch.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=260:restaurada-la-conchetta-i-barch-a-tornen-in-gesa-rossa-&catid=86:notizie&Itemid=267|url-status=usurped|archive-date=19 February 2015}}
Domà Nunch was opposed to urbanization and the concretization of land. Particularly, their members had been against new highway projects, such as the Pedemontana Lombarda proposed by the Regional Council of Lombardy.{{cite news|title=In piazza contro Pedemontana, l'Osvo lancia la sfida|url=http://www3.varesenews.it/busto/articolo.php?id=155212}} Also, Domà Nunch aimed to maintain taxation locally in Insubria in order to reclaim the land. Temporarily cooperation led to merging Domà Nunch's actions with major campaigning environmentalist organisations, such as WWF, Italia Nostra, Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano{{cite news|title=Terza Pista di Malpensa: "Un'elemosina che non compensa il danno ambientale".

In the first activity period, Domà Nunch had published a number of books on ecology and local language, as well as organised events. These included:
- The National Day of Insubria, every 5 September, according to the date of foundation of the Duchy of Milan;
- Commemoration of the ICMESA disaster in Seveso;
- The Forum on Environmental Emergencies in Insubria, in 2007, Uboldo;
- The Forum on the Milanese Language, in 2007, Nerviano, attended by the major linguistic associations of the region;
- The conference Olona: A Valley at Its Crossroad, in 2008, Gorla Minore;
- Olona: A Valley Festival in 2008;
- Street rallies against the A36 (Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda) project, in 2009 and 2010.
In 2010 Domà Nunch replied to the Enlargement of Switzerland motion proposing an integration between Switzerland and Insubria in order to join into a new confederation.{{cite news|title=Domà Nunch rilancia: lavoriamo insieme per una confederazione elvetico-insubre|url=http://www.domanunch.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=772:doma-nunch-rilancia-lavoriamo-insieme-per-una-confederazione-elvetico-insubre&catid=99:doma-nunch|url-status=usurped|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725211308/http://www.domanunch.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=772%3Adoma-nunch-rilancia-lavoriamo-insieme-per-una-confederazione-elvetico-insubre&catid=99%3Adoma-nunch|archivedate=25 July 2010|df=dmy-all}}{{cite news|title=How to Grind Gadaffi's Gears: Three Greater Switzerlands|url=http://bigthink.com/ideas/20991}}
Political movement
=First Period=
In December 2011, Domà Nunch actually ceased its activity as a cultural association and changed into a political movement with the target to run for the 2013 Lombard regional election,{{cite news|title=Autonomisti e verdi, ma non-leghisti|url=http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2011/12/05/doma-nunch/175324/}} though this never actually happened.
In February 2012, Domà Nunch provoked the public opinion by issuing a local currency called FranchThe word is equivalent to Lira in Lombard language. stating this would be "the money of the people, to save our economy". Issued banknotes were portraying historical lombard characters like Francesco II Sforza.{{cite news|title=Il movimento econazionalista padano (ma non leghista) lancia la sua moneta|url=http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2012/02/15/movimento-econazionalista-padano-leghista-lancia-moneta/191273/}}{{cite news|title=Il movimento econazionalista lancia la sua moneta|url=http://www.wallstreetitalia.com/article/1323884/secessione/il-movimento-nazionalista-padano-lancia-la-sua-moneta.aspx}}
In September of the same year, Domà Nunch activists had been attacked by individuals linked with left-wing social center and Italian General Confederation of Labour while the econationalists rallying in Desio against Mafia presence in Insubria and Pedemontana motorway construction{{cite news|title=A Desio tentata aggressione dei centri sociali contro Domà Nunch|url=http://www.lindipendenza.com/a-desio-tentata-aggressione-dei-centri-sociali-contro-doma-nunch/|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502005614/http://www.lindipendenza.com/a-desio-tentata-aggressione-dei-centri-sociali-contro-doma-nunch/|archivedate=2 May 2014|df=dmy-all}} Domà Nunch claimed CGIL to have responsibility in the tempted assault.{{cite news|title=Domà Nunch: la Cgil spieghi le sue responsabilità nei fatto di Desio|url=http://www.lindipendenza.com/domo-nunch-la-cgil-spieghi-le-sue-responsabilita-nei-fatto-di-desio/|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502005510/http://www.lindipendenza.com/domo-nunch-la-cgil-spieghi-le-sue-responsabilita-nei-fatto-di-desio/|archivedate=2 May 2014|df=dmy-all}}

This led to a convention in Milan on 4 May to remember the Bava-Beccaris massacre.{{cite news|title=4 maggio, Milano: "Insubria ribelle".
