The party's aim is to increase the investments in culture, which is considered the main resource for Italy. [2]

History

The party was founded by Vittorio Sgarbi on 17 January 2017, but just a year later, on 19 January 2018, he also joined Forza Italia, thus remaining leader of the party. [3] However, the party (in a joint list with Moderates in Revolution) ran its candidates in the 2018 Italian general election in the constituency of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, gaining a few hundred votes (less than 0.1% for both the Chamber of Deputies [4] and the Senate). [5]

On 23 March 2022 the party merged with the anti-lockdown association of entrepreneurs led by Umberto Carriera and changed its name to I Open Renaissance (Io Apro Rinascimento). [6] [7]

In the 2022 election, Sgarbi ran in the single-member district of Bologna, losing against the centre-left candidate, Pier Ferdinando Casini. However, the centre-right coalition won the election and Sgarbi was appointed undersecretary to the Ministry of Culture.
