People and Territory (Popolo e Territorio, PT), originally Responsible Initiative (Iniziativa Responsabile), was a centre-right parliamentary party active in the Chamber of Deputies of Italy in 2011–2013. Launched on 20 January 2011, the group was supportive of Berlusconi IV Cabinet. A large majority of its members were elected in Southern Italy.[1][2] Its counterpart in the Senate was National Cohesion, which was composed mainly of splinters from Future and Freedom.
On 23 March 2011, Francesco Saverio Romano, a group member, was appointed minister of Agriculture.[3] On 5 May 2011 Silvio Berlusconi appointed three under-secretaries from PT/IR: Giampiero Catone (Environment), Bruno Cesario and Catia Polidori (Economy and Finance).[4]
