Renaissance (Italian: Rinascimento) was a short-lived liberal political party in Italy.[1]

Its leader was Vittorio Sgarbi, an Italian art critic, art historian, politician, cultural commentator and television personality. Sgarbi was formerly a member of the Italian Liberal Party, which was elected in Parliament in 1992, and after its dissolution in 1994 joined in Forza Italia, continuing to be MP until 2006.

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

On 19 January 2018, after only 12 months of activity, the party dissolved to join in Forza Italia.[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]
