The Conservatives and Reformists (Italian: Conservatori e Riformisti, CR or CoR) was a broadly conservative[1][2] and, to some extent,[3][4] Christian-democratic and liberal[3][4] political party in Italy, led by Raffaele Fitto.
The CoR emerged in May 2015 from a split from Forza Italia (FI), and is modelled on the British Conservative Party and David Cameron's brand of liberal conservatism, vision and leadership (in the run-up to the 2015 UK general election Fitto, Capezzone and other 28 MPs of their faction within FI had publicly endorsed Cameron in a letter to The Telegraph)[5] and named after the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), the group in the European Parliament in which the Conservatives and Fitto sit. The CoR joined the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists (AECR) on 13 November 2015.[6]
Since January 2017 the CoR have been part of a new party named Direction Italy (DI), also led by Fitto.
