Alliance of the Centre (Italian: Alleanza di Centro, AdC), whose full name is Alliance of the Centre for the Territories (Italian: Alleanza di Centro per i Territori), is a Christian-democratic political party in Italy.

It was founded in November 2008 as Alliance of the Centre for Freedom (Italian: Alleanza di Centro per la Libertà) by splinters from the Union of the Centre (UdC) who wanted to return to an alliance with Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right coalition and support his fourth government.[3] Its leader is Francesco Pionati, deputy and formerly spokesman of the UdC.[3][4]

At the 2009 European Parliament election, AdC was part of The Autonomy,[5][6] an electoral coalition including The Right, the Movement for the Autonomies and the Pensioners' Party, which gained 2.2% of the vote and no MEPs.[7] In the 2010 general regional elections AdC ran its lists in a handful of regions, electing only one regional councillor in Pionati's homeregion, Campania (2.35%).[8] In the 2011 Molise regional election the party got the 6.73% of the vote and 2 seats in the Regional Council.[9]

On 20 January 2011, AdC was a founding component of Responsible Initiative (later renamed People and Territory), a centre-right group in the Italian Chamber of Deputies during the 16th Legislature.[10] In October 2012, the balance of accounts of the People of Freedom (PdL) showed that the Alliance of the Centre had received €80,000 of financial support from PdL.[11]

The party was renamed Alliance of the Centre for the Territories in July 2019.[12]
