Us with Salvini (Italian: Noi con Salvini, NcS) was a populist political party in Italy.[1][2] The party, founded by Matteo Salvini on 19 December 2014, was the sister party of Lega Nord (LN) for southern Italy,[1][3] Lazio,[4][5][6] and Sardinia[7][8] (where the LN regional section was never recognised as one of its "national" sections, and where the party joined forces with the Sardinian Action Party, PSd'Az).

Salvini was the party's president, Raffaele Volpi (a senator of LN) vice-president, while Angelo Attaguile, formerly a member of the Party of Sicilians, who was the first deputy to join the party, secretary and leader in Sicily.[9][10]

In the 2018 general election, NcS ran under the "Lega" umbrella alongside Lega Nord, the aforementioned PSd'Az and minor parties.[11][12][13][14][15] More than 20 deputies and senators were elected outside the Centre-North.[16] As of early 2019, the party seems no longer active.[17] Since 2018, membership recruitment by the LN in the central and southern Italy has been made under the name of "Lega per Salvini Premier" (LSP),[18] which practically supplanted NcS.

Before NcS, there were previous attempts to establish a LN-sponsored party in the South: "Lega Italia Federale", Lega Sud Ausonia (which is still active and espouses an anti-northern line), and the Federalist Alliance.
