Life

In 1996, Seppi founded with several like-minded persons the party Unitalia, whose current chairman he is. In 1998 he got elected into the Landtag of South Tyrol and became thereby also a member of the regional council of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.
Since January 2008 the party was the provincial section of The Right in South Tyrol,[http://www.consiglio-bz.org/press-fraktionen/frktn_news_i.asp?art=201434 Consiglio della Provincia autonoma di Bolzano | Comunicati stampa dei gruppi consiliari]{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} but left that party as soon as in November, when Seppi decided to join the Movement for Italy (Movimento per l'Italia/MpI), a split from "The Right" led by Daniela Santanchè and since then Unitalia became the provincial section of the MpI.[http://www.mpli.it/wp Movimento per l'Italia] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111231214830/http://www.mpli.it/wp |date=December 31, 2011 }}
