Civic Area (Italian: Area Civica, AC) was a progressive political party in Italy.
Led by Giulio Santagata, a former minister in Romano Prodi's second government, AC was mainly composed of former Olivists, a faction of Prodi's loyalists within Democracy is Freedom and, subsequently, the Democratic Party (PD).[1]
In December 2017 AC formed, along with the Italian Socialist Party, the Federation of the Greens and Progressive Area, the Together electoral list, within the centre-left coalition, for the upcoming 2018 general election.[2][3][4]
In the election the list obtained a mere 0.6% of the vote and no seats. However, Serse Soverini (AC) was elected to the Chamber from the single-seat constituency of Imola, Emilia-Romagna.
In October 2018 Soverini joined Italia in Comune[5] and soon became the party's regional coordinator in Emilia-Romagna.[6] In September 2019, after Matteo Renzi had left to form Italia Viva, Soverini joined the PD.[7][8]
