Alleanza per l'Italia (German: Alliance for Italy , abbreviation: ApI or API) was a centrist party in Italy that was launched in November 2009 . The party was founded by the former mayor of Rome and ex-minister of culture, Francesco Rutelli , who was previously a member of the Partito Democratico . It was dissolved at the end of 2016.

Francesco Rutelli, a member of the Italian Greens ( Federazione dei Verdi ) in the 1990s and as such the first green mayor of Rome, founded the centrist party La Margherita in 2002, consisting of liberal and Christian-social groups , which in 2007 became part of the new The center-left Partito Democratico  (PD) had risen. Within the PD, Rutelli led the centrist wing, which was increasingly in the minority against the social democratic factions. After the election of the former industry minister Pier Luigi Bersani as the new leader of the Democrats in October 2009, Rutelli left the party and announced that he wanted to found a new party together with the Christian Democrat Bruno Tabacci . Rutelli cited the shift to the left within the Democratic Party as the reason, which was expressed in Bersani's victory against Dario Franceschini , who was supported by Rutelli .

The party name Rutelli chose initially caused confusion after it was introduced into the political discourse in 2007 by post-fascist Gianfranco Fini in connection with the transformation of his right-wing conservative Alleanza Nazionale into a Christian Democratic center-right party. In another context, there was speculation about a possible alliance between Rutelli and Fini, once the opponent of Rutellis in the election as mayor of Rome, who was considered to be a potential opponent and successor to Berlusconi within the center-right camp.

In the Italian regional elections on March 28 and 29, 2010, the Alleanza supported the majority of the election proposals of the Center Union under Casini and only competed in the regions of Campania , Basilicata , Marche and Calabria with their own lists and took part as part of the center-left alliance between two and four percent of the vote.
