Legambiente is an Italian environmentalist association with roots in the anti-nuclear movement that developed in Italy and throughout the Western world in the second half of the 1970s. Founded in 1980 as part of the ARCI, it later became a stand-alone organisation. Originally known as Lega per l'ambiente (League for the Environment), it changed its name during the IV National Congress held in Parma in 1992. Important values for the association include the improvement of environmental quality, the fight against all forms of pollution, and a wise use of natural resources. It is considered the most widespread environmental organisation in Italy, as it is composed of a national headquarter in Rome, 20 regional branches, about 1,000 local groups and more than 115,000 members.
