In March 2017 PNV stopped supporting the government and, along with the UVP, SA and Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology (ALPE), formed a new government without the UV, under President Pierluigi Marquis (SA), with Restano minister of Tourism, Sports, Commerce and Transports.[5][6][7][8] In June 2017 the group of the PNV was enlarged to Carlo Norbiato, another dissident from the UV, and consequently changed name to Civic Area – For Our Valley.[9] In September a joint group with SA was formed: Civic Area – Edelweiss – For Our Valley.[10] In October Marquis resigned and was replaced by Laurent Viérin (UVP) at the head of a coalition composed of the UV, the UVP, the EPAV and the PD.[11]
In the 2018 regional election PNV formed a joint list with SA, which obtained 10.7% and four seats (two for PNV and two for SA). After the election, the Regional Council elected Nicoletta SpelgattiofLega Nord Valle d'Aosta (LNVdA) as president, at the head of a broad left-right coalition, comprising SA–PNV, ALPE, Mouv' and one defector from UV's ranks. In the new government Restano kept his office, along with SA's Stefano Borrello.[12][13] However, in December the government fell down and was replaced by a new one led by Fosson, at the head of a coalition composed also of the UV, the UVP, ALPE and SA.[14][15][16][17] In June 2019 Fosson formed a group along with UV dissident Emily Rini, while Restano remained in the Mixed Group.[18] In December 2019 Fosson resigned from President,[19] as well as the Regional Council.[20] Soon after, Rini joined Forza Italia and became the party's regional coordinator.[21][22]
In the 2020 regional election Restano was elected councillor from a join list named "United Aosta Valley" along with Mouv',[23] which obtained 8.1% of the vote and a total of three seats.
