Energies for Italy (Italian: Energie per l'Italia, EpI) is a liberal political party in Italy.[1][2][3]

Its leader is Stefano Parisi, a former director-general of Confindustria and CEO of Fastweb, who was the candidate of Forza Italia (FI) in the 2016 Milan municipal election. In the event, he pulled the party to 20.2%, but however narrowly lost to his Democratic opponent in the run-off, Giuseppe Sala. After asking him to reform the party, in November FI leader Silvio Berlusconi disowned Parisi, due to his difficult political relationship with the party's major ally, Lega Nord.[4][5]

So far, EpI has not yet attracted deputies or senators, and is not represented in regional councils as well.
