Sicilian Spring ({{langx|it|Primavera Siciliana}}) was a political party active in Sicily.
History
Sicilian Spring was founded in 2001 by Emilio Arcuri, former assessor and deputy mayor of Palermo, and Stefano Vivacqua, former president of the province of Agrigento. Among the founders of the new party, aside from Emilio Arcuri and Stefano Vivacqua, there was also Rita Borsellino, who, however, decided not to run on the list.[http://www1.adnkronos.com/Archivio/AdnAgenzia/2001/05/09/Politica/ELEZIONI-NASCE-PRIMAVERA-SICILIANA-CON-LA-BORSELLINO_131200.php ELEZIONI: NASCE 'PRIMAVERA SICILIANA' CON LA BORSELLINO]
The party ran in the 2001 Sicilian regional elections in the center-left coalition in support of Leoluca Orlando's candidacy, obtaining 1.2% of the votes and one seat in the Sicilian Regional Assembly.[https://elezionistorico.interno.gov.it/index.php?tpel=R&dtel=24/06/2001&tpa=I&tpe=R&lev0=0&levsut0=0&lev1=19&levsut1=1&ne1=19&es0=S&es1=S&ms=S Dipartimento per gli Affari Interni e Territoriali] The deputy elected on the list of Sicilian Spring was Giovanni Ferro.[https://palermo.repubblica.it/cronaca/2020/01/23/news/palermo_morto_giovanni_ferro_fu_assessore_con_orlando-246468387/ Palermo, è morto Giovanni Ferro: fu assessore con Orlando]
In the 2006 regional election, following the introduction of a 5% threshold, it presented its candidates on a list called "United for Sicily" (Uniti per la Sicilia), together with SDI, IdV, PRC, PdCI and Greens. The list, which was part of the coalition in support of Rita Borsellino's candidacy, obtained 5.2% of the votes and 3 seats.[https://books.google.com/books?id=-fe4DwAAQBAJ&dq=Uniti+per+la+Sicilia+elezioni+regionali+2006+primavera+siciliana+rifondazione+verdi&pg=PA272 Lentini nell'Italia repubblicana]
