The list was launched in the run-up of the 2010 regional election by Fabio Salviato, president of Banca Popolare Etica, the pioneer of ethical banking in Italy which has its headquarters in Padua, Veneto and Gianfranco Bettin, regional councillor and leader of the regional section of the Federation of the Greens.[1][2][3] IDEA was thus composed of two distinct components: the Solidary Ethical Movement (Movimento Etico Solidale, MES), led by Salviato, and the Greens of Veneto.

IDEA, which initially proposed Salviato as centre-left candidate for President of Veneto, ran in the regional election, obtaining a mere 0.7% of the vote (down from 3.0% of the Greens in 2005) and no regional councillors.

IDEA was later disbanded, but in the 2014 municipal election of Padua an alike list launched by Salviato,[4] "Padua 2020", won 8.1% of the vote and its candidate for mayor Francesco Fiore 9.9%.[5] In the 2017 municipal election Padua 2020 formed a broader "Civic Coalition", this time without Salviato, who had left in order to form a green list in support of the candidate of the Democratic Party:[6] the list obtained 11.5% of the vote and its candidate for mayor Arturo Lorenzoni 22.8%.[7]
