Fassa was formed as Fassa List (Lista Fassa) in August 2008 as a centre-right alternative to the centre-left Ladin Autonomist Union (UAL), which used to garner a large majority of Ladin votes in Fassa Valley. Its first leader was Gino Fontana, mayor of Vigo di Fassa and, formerly, provincial councillor for Daisy Civic List, a centrist party aligned with the centre-left. A year later, the List was institutionalised and became a fully fledged party under the current name.[2]
In the 2008 provincial election, the party won 0.6% of the vote (26.6% in Fassa Valley), while the UAL gained 1.2% (54.0%).[3]
In March 2012, the party replaced its leadership during an assembly: Elena Testor was elected president and Luca Guglielmi secretary.[4] In September 2013, Riccardo Franceschetti, mayor of Moena and leading member of the UAL, left that party in order to join Fassa.[5]
In the 2013 provincial election, the party won 0.8% of the vote (31.9% in Fassa Valley), but still lost to the UAL, which gained 1.1% (51.8%).[6]
However, in 2015, the party prevailed over the UAL in the first Fassa community election and Testor was elected Attorney General.[7][8]
In the 2016 Italian constitutional referendum won Fassa supported the No[9] with 57.9% against the UAL supported Yes[10] in Fassa Valley.[11]
In the 2018 general election, Testor, affiliated to Forza Italia,[12] was elected to the Italian Senate from the single-seat constituency of Pergine Valsugana.[13][14]
