Italy of Values (Italia dei Valori, IdV) is a populist and anti-corruption political movement in Italy, headed by former magistrate and Mani Pulite campaigner Antonio Di Pietro. The party is a member of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.
In the 2004 European Parliamentary Elections he teamed up with one-time communist leader Achille Occhetto to run as Società Civile—Di Pietro Occhetto. The list gained 2.1% of the popular vote, and both men were elected Members of the European Parliament; Occhetto immediately renounced to his seat in favour of the communist journalist Giulietto Chiesa.
A delegation of IDV participated to the 2005 ELDR Congress in Bratislava and presented nearly 3/4 of all the amendments submitted by all the delegations present to the congress.
In the 9-10 April 2006 general elections, the party was member of the winning The Union (L'Unione) and won 5 out of 315 senators and 20 out of 630 deputies.
