Biography edit
Graduated in Law at the University of Bologna, Brignone began her political career in 2009 joining the Democratic Party, supporting Ignazio Marino first and Giuseppe Civati later.[1]
Brignone was a leading promoter of the 2011 popular referendums.[citation needed]
She ran for the Chamber of Deputies at the 2013 election, but was the first of the unelected.[2] She managed to enter Parliament in July 2015, when former Prime Minister Enrico Letta resigned from the Chamber of Deputies.[3] Meanwhile, she had left the Democratic Party, after having criticized Matteo Renzi's policies and joined Giuseppe Civati's Possible.[4]
Brignone ran once again for the Chamber of Deputies during the 2018 election with the left-wing coalition Free and Equal, but failed to win. After Civati's resignation, Brignone was elected the new Secretary of Possible.[5]
