Italy of Values (Italian: Italia dei Valori, IdV) is a centrist,populist and anti-corruptionpolitical party in Italy. The party was founded in 1998 by former Mani pulite prosecutor Antonio Di Pietro, who entered politics in 1996 and finally left the party in 2014. IdV has aimed at gathering and giving voice to different sectors of the Italian society. From the beginning of its existence one of its major issues has been the so-called "moral issue".
Antonio Di Pietro was minister of Public Works in the Prodi I Cabinet from May to November 1996, when he resigned because he was under investigation in Brescia. In November 1997 Di Pietro was elected senator for The Olive Tree in a by-election in Mugello, a stronghold of the Democrats of the Left (DS) in Tuscany, by trouncing his major opponent Giuliano Ferrara 67.7% to 16.1% and despite the presence of a Communist candidate on the ballot, Sandro Curzi who received 13.0%.
In March 1998 Di Pietro established his party, Italy of Values (IdV), alongside Willer Bordon of the Democratic Union and Rino Piscitello and Franco Danieli of The Network, led by Leoluca Orlando (a future IdV member).
