Italian Renewal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Italian Renewal (Rinnovamento Italiano, RI) was an Italian political party.

It was founded in 1996 by Lamberto Dini (at that time prime minister) with some former-Liberals as Natale D'Amico, former Socialists as Tiziano Treu, former Christian Democrats as Augusto Fantozzi, former Republicans as Gianantonio Mazzocchin and former Social Democrats. The party joined the centre-left coalition called The Olive Tree.

At the 1996 elections, which were contested in list with the Italian Socialists of Enrico Boselli and the Patto Segni, the party scored 4.3%: Lamberto Dini became minister of Foreign Affairs, while Tiziano Treu minister of Labour. In 2001-02 the party joined Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy (DL).

RI members in DL formed a faction within the party, named simply Renewal, which held the 10% of party members. In 2007, several members of this association including Dini broke away from DL to form the Liberal Democrats.
