The Italian Liberal Party (Partito Liberale Italiano, PLI) is a liberal political party in Italy, that considers itself the successor of the late Italian Liberal Party. The PLI, whose current leader is Stefano de Luca, is part of the New Pole for Italy (NPI). The party was founded in December 2004 as an expansion of the short-lived Liberal Party (PL). Stefano de Luca, former MEP for Forza Italia and leader of the PL, was elected secretary at the founding congress. In June 2007 the PLI reaffirmed its autonomy from the centre-right House of Freedoms coalition and de Luca was unanimously re-elected secretary.
