Civic Area (Italian: Area Civica, AC) is a progressive political party in Italy.

Led by Giulio Santagata, a former minister in Romano Prodi's second government, AC is mainly composed of former Olivists, a faction of Prodi's loyalists within Democracy is Freedom and, subsequently, the Democratic Party.[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, AC's Serse Soverini (AC) was elected to the Chamber from the single-seat constituency of Imola, Emilia-Romagna.
