Alliance for Italy (Italian: Alleanza per l'Italia; ApI) was a centrist[1] political party in Italy.

The party, which was described in its manifesto as "democratic, liberal, popular" as opposed both to "right-wing populism" and the "social-democratic left", described as "an experience with high and memorable value, yet by now run out",[2] was launched on 11 November 2009 by Francesco Rutelli, senator for the Democratic Party (PD) and former leader of Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy (DL). The core of the party was composed by the Free Democrats, the faction Rutelli launched some months before leaving the PD.

Most of the early party members were liberals and Christian democrats coming from the PD, including Linda Lanzillotta, Gianni Vernetti and Donato Mosella or disgruntled centrists from Italy of Values, like Pino Pisicchio.[3][4]

The party was officially disbanded by the end of 2016.
