The Fondazione Luigi Einaudi (in English: Luigi Einaudi Foundation) is an Italian onlus (nonprofit organization) established in Rome in 1962 on the initiative of Giovanni Malagodi, the then secretary of the Italian Liberal Party (PLI), and the party was for decades useful cultural support despite their autonomy. Named after Luigi Einaudi, a prominent liberal politician, PLI member, and the second Italian president in the history of the Italian Republic, its centre is visited by a quarter of a million scholars, 15% from outside Turin, and many from outside Italy. The Luigi Einaudi Foundation has relationships with the Colegio de México and Cornell University, facilitating research on regional integration, comparative models of employment and social policy, and contemporary political and economic thought.

In 1984, the statute of the Luigi Einaudi Foundation was reformed by eliminating the presence of law of the secretary of the PLI by the governing board of the foundation in order to start a process totally independent, essentially aimed to study the new guidelines that faced in those years in Italy opening new horizons to the spread of liberal culture. With the dissolution of the PLI in 1994 in the collapse of the traditional parties of the First Italian Republic, the Luigi Einaudi Foundation came to represent the continuity of liberal culture, which was suddenly claimed by many as an essential element of new and old political parties as a two-party system developed in 1994.
The transition to the two-party system cut the liberal membership, and in fact those who were (in and out of PLI) recognised in the membership divided into the new system by choosing different political parties or none. In acknowledging this issue, the Luigi Einaudi Foundation decided to maintain and strengthen its choice, not of neutrality but of impartiality, not neutrality because it has its foundation and orientation in the liberal culture, and impartiality because the liberal culture, for the same characteristics that distinguish it, it does not lead to predetermined party options.[ citation needed ]
The Luigi Einaudi Foundation's choice of impartiality came during a time where liberal culture was a minority in the new political system, and thus required initiatives and tools that help to make it grow. To do this, the Luigi Einaudi Foundation advocates a debate and dialogue between different positions, presents any problem to a rational analysis and motivated schematics without preconceptions, and offers to those who want a place of freedom discussion to do so. The choices of those who intend to take an active part in liberal militant politics does not involve the Luigi Einaudi Foundation, returning them in the exercise of personal responsibility of each individual.[ citation needed ]
