Us with Italy (Italian: Noi con l'Italia, NcI) is a centre-right, mainly Christian-democratic and liberal-conservative, coalition of political parties in Italy. Its main leaders are Raffaele Fitto (president, leader of Direction Italy), Francesco Saverio Romano (vice president, leader of Popular Construction), Maurizio Lupi (coordinator, former leading member of Popular Alternative), Enrico Costa (the main proponent) and Lorenzo Cesa (leader of the Union of the Centre).
The list will be part of the centre-right coalition in the 2018 general election. Along with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, the party represents the coalition's centrist wing and thus favours Berlusconi or another centrist as Prime Minister.
In the run-up of the 2018 general election there was a debate on the creation of a "fourth leg" of the centre-right coalition, along with Forza Italia (FI), Lega Nord (LN) and the Brothers of Italy (FdI). It all started when Enrico Costa, a FI dissident who had later been a minister in Paolo Gentiloni's centre-left government, resigned from his post and left his party, Popular Alternative (AP), in order to form a "liberal centre" in alliance with FI. Originally, the Federation of Freedom (FdL), a parliamentary group in the Senate launched by Identity and Action (IdeA), was seen as the embryo of the "fourth leg".
