The Renziani was a liberal area within the Democratic Party (PD) composed of the followers of Matteo Renzi, party's former national secretary and former Prime Minister of Italy from February 2014 to December 2016. This area also took the name of Now! (Adesso!) and Big Bang. In September 2019, Renzi founded his own movement, Italia Viva (IV), exiting from the PD.
The Open Foundation, whose Secretary-General is Maria Elena Boschi, served as think tank and financial arm of the faction. It was later replaced by the Matteo Renzi Foundation.
