Italy in the Centre ( it, Italia al Centro, IaC) is a liberal-conservative political party in Italy led by Giovanni Toti. History In August 2019, Giovanni Toti left his former party Forza Italia (FI), and formed Cambiamo! (C!).

On one side Toti wanted to form an alliance with Matteo Renzi's Italia Viva party, and he launched Italy in the Centre (IaC); on the other side, Brugnaro rejected establishment politics, and he wanted to remain part of the centre-right coalition. In February 2022, CI's sub-group within the Mixed Group, previously named "IDeA–Cambiamo!–Europeanists", was re-named "Italy in the Centre". On 28 April 2022 IdC was officially established.
