The Network 2018 (Italian: La Rete 2018) is a centre-left political party in Italy led by Leoluca Orlando, former leading member of Christian Democracy in Sicily, founder of The Network and The Democrats, and four-time mayor of Palermo.
The party, which considers itself a refoundation of the Network (founded by Orlando in 1991), was launched in 2011 and caused a split from Italy of Values (IdV) in 2013. Along Orlando, splinters from IdV notably included Fabio Giambrone, a former member of the Chamber of Deputies, and Niccolò Rinaldi, a former member of the European Parliament.
