After the unified rally of the centre-right in Pescara, it is the centre-left's turn to regain the Abruzzo scene just a few days before the vote.
The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein gets into the car and travels through the provinces "inch by inch".
It is her fifth tour, for her, in her territory.
And this time she returns with the Sardinian result in her pocket.
"If there is one thing that the election in Sardinia has taught us, it is that every vote makes a difference", she says with conviction to the citizens in a public meeting.
You therefore launch the appeal: "take back the future of your Region, it can be done".
The goal is to gain ground in the field of abstention, and that's where Schlein tries to nail down: "get out of here and think about those ten people who are thinking of not going to vote".
You speak of "hope and trust" around the broad coalition that with Luciano D'Amico can bring "good governance" to Abruzzo.
And she attacks both Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the outgoing governor Marco Marsilio head-on.
"I hope that the people of Abruzzo want an Abruzzo president who lives in Abruzzo", quips the dem leader, who returns to the catchphrase of this electoral campaign.
Marsilio, for Schlein, is a "candidate imposed by Giorgia Meloni and who doesn't even live in Abruzzo": "a president chosen for belonging and obedience to party orders and who looks first at the political color of the mayors rather than the tricolor band".
The secretary of the Democratic Party highlights the governor's silence on the "cuts to the Pnrr", on the differentiated autonomy project and has no doubts in saying that he has governed badly, forgetting to "listen to the territory".
She also accuses Prime Minister Meloni: "I wish he had listened to people more about the Roma-Pescara issue".
And it is precisely on the project of the railway line between the capital and the largest city in Abruzzo that Schelin continues to attack the Prime Minister: "a disguised theft, a shell game" with which the Prime Minister would have found the 720 million from Development and Cohesion Fund.
"Promises from merchants", those of a government "incapable of running the country".
When they ask her if the vote in Abruzzo could influence the government's stability, she replies dryly: "it is the tensions within the majority that are paralyzing the government".
And she adds mischievously: "I understand their concerns about this vote."
That the stakes are high is demonstrated by the fact that center-right leaders and ministers will return to travel the length and breadth of the region in the next two days.
However, the fact that the coalition supporting D'Amico believes in the undertaking emerges clearly.
And not only from Secretary Schlein's statements.
Before the meeting with the citizens of Manoppello Scalo, worried about the impact on the territory of the new Rome-Pescara route, the dem deputy Luciano D'Alfonso already speaks in the past tense: "here in Abruzzo it was easy to win".
Then the secretary arrives, welcomed by numerous supporters, even though it is early afternoon.
They give her a mimosa, leave her letters, take selfies.
Then they fill her with applause when she says that the railway project "must be done, but by listening to the citizens".
And the clamor increases when she sounds the charge: "united we win, we chose D'Amico for his competence and when we agree on ideas and themes we can win together".
Public health, school, work, good business and climate emergency, the watchwords.
Schlein is "delighted" with "a project that gives hope to the left", of a coalition that brings together "all the alternative forces to the right".
And she has no doubts that building competitive alliances "to beat the right" remains the "priority", also in view of Basilicata and Piedmont.
"We remain stubbornly united," she comments.
And in the very wide field running in Abruzzo, everyone marks in the zone.
Schlein ends the day with Pier Luigi Bersani in Sulmona, re-proposing a tandem experimented in Carbonia in Sardinia.
"You don't change a team that wins - explains the secretary - he is extraordinarily generous and is much loved".
While Renzi is showing in a packed room in Pescara, where the leader of Italia Viva attacks the government, he reiterates his distance with Conte and specifies in the wide field: "you choose the people".
Nicki Vendola for Sinistra Italiana launches the environmentalist challenge and from the Torre del Cerrano insists: "Abruzzo does not deserve to be a Roman colony".
