Unique Italy (Italia Unica, IU; unico/a translates both to "unique" and "united") was a centre-right political party in Italy.
Its leader was Corrado Passera, a former manager (Mondadori, Espresso, Olivetti, Poste), banker (Intesa/Intesa Sanpaolo), supporter of the centre-left Olive Tree coalition and minister of Economic Development in Monti Cabinet (2011–2013).
The party was launched during two conventions in February and June 2014, respectively. Passera aimed at forming a "liberal, popular and reform" alternative to Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD) and re-unifying the centre-right, which was divided at the time between several contentious parties and leaders.
At its founding congress in January 2015, the party unveiled its leadership. Led by Passera, president, and Lelio Alfonso (former spokesperson of Future Italy, IF and Civic Choice, SC), national coordinator, the party's national board notably included Diego Bottacin (former regional councillor in Veneto for Democracy is Freedom–DL, the PD and Toward North–VN), Fabio Evangelisti (a former MP for the Democrats of the Left–DS and Italy of Values–IdV), Silvana Mura (former treasurer and MP of IdV), Renzo Tondo (a former Socialist who served as President of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and MP for Forza Italia–FI and The People of Freedom–PdL) and Santo Versace (another former Socialist who was MP for the PdL).
