More Europe (Italian: Più Europa or +Europa, +E) is a liberal and pro-Europeanist coalition of political parties in Italy, within the centre-left coalition. The list is led by Emma Bonino, leader of the Italian Radicals and former minister.
More Europe was launched in November 2017, seeking to participate in the 2018 general election within the centre-left coalition centred on the Democratic Party (PD). The founding members were two liberal and distinctively pro-Europeanist parties: the Italian Radicals (RI), whose leading members included Emma Bonino (a former minister of International Commerce and Foreign Affairs), Riccardo Magi and Marco Cappato, and Forza Europa (FE), led by Benedetto Della Vedova, a former Radical elected in 2013 with Future and Freedom (FLI) and later transitated through Civic Choice (SC). The RI and FE were joined by individual members of the Civics and Innovators (CI) sub-group in the Chamber of Deputies, formed by former SC members (two CI deputies, Andrea Mazziotti and Stefano Dambruoso, were already involved with FE).
Angelo Bonelli, coordinator of the Federation of the Greens, had earlier proposed to the Radicals a joint list together with Giuliano Pisapia's Progressive Camp (CP) named "Ecology, Europe, Rights". However, Pisapia announced that he would not run in the election and declared CP's experience over, while the Radicals organised +E.
