The Progressive Camp (Italian: Campo Progressista, CP) is a left-wing political party in Italy.
Its leader is Giuliano Pisapia, a former member of the Chamber of Deputies (1996–2006) for the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC) and later mayor of Milan (2011–2016) as an independent close to Left Ecology Freedom (SEL).
The party's foundation, which was launched in Milan by Pisapia and sponsored by Laura Boldrini, Gad Lerner, Bruno Tabacci and others in February 2017, aimed at unifying the portion of the Italian left interested in forming an alliance with the centre-left Democratic Party (PD). In this respect, the CP held a different position from that of Italian Left (SI), into which SEL was folded in 2015–2017, as SI refused to form a national alliance with the PD. The CP was founded on 11 March 2017 in Rome, in a public convention held in Teatro Brancaccio.
A large splinter group from SEL, led by Arturo Scotto and Massimiliano Smeriglio, looked set to join forces with Pisapia in the new party, but eventually joined the Democrats and Progressives (DP), a party founded by left-wing splinters of the PD instead. The CP and the DP, as well as Possible, the Greens and possibly SI, may soon form an alliance.
