10 Times Better was founded in December 2017 by the Venetian entrepreneur, Andrea Dusi, to run in the 2018 general election; Dusi's aim is to create an Italian equivalent of Ciudadanos, the Spanish liberal party led by Albert Rivera. [1] [3]

10VM wants to restart investing funds on enterprises, on tourism and innovation which are considered the key points to re-launch Italy. [4] The party considers itself different from Five Star Movement, the anti-establishment party which some commentators have compared to 10VM. [5]

The party's slogan is "Italy Deserves to Be Ten Times Better". [6]

In July 2018, the founder Andrea Dusi decided to leave the political party to continue his activity as civic leader through Impactscool, a no profit organization aiming to prepare the young people to the future. [7] [ failed verification ]

On 18 April 2019, three Deputies joined the party and created the "Dream Italy–10 Times Better" parliamentary sub-group within the Mixed Group in the Chamber of Deputies. [8] The party voted against the motion of confidence to the Conte II Cabinet.[ citation needed ]

In September, four deputies officially left Forza Italia in order to join Cambiamo!. [9] They entered the "Dream Italy–10 Times Better" sub-group, which was then renamed "Cambiamo!–10 Times Better". [8] [10]
