Plus One (, PU) is a christian leftist and centre-left political party in Italy led by Ernesto Maria Ruffini.
History Ernesto Maria Ruffini is an attorney and the son of Attilio Ruffini, a former Christian Democracy politician and minister. Ruffini was appointed in 2015 as the Director General of Agenzia delle Entrate until 13 December 2024, when he left his post due to disagreements with the Meloni government over the fight against tax evasion.
The association was officially registered on 1 March 2025, but it wasn't publicly unveiled until June 2025 with the launch of the Plus One Committees. The name and the structure were inspired by the Prodi Committees (formally called the Committees for the Italy We Want), launched in 1995, that were a prelude to the birth of The Olive Tree coalition. Bruno Tabacci, leader of Democratic Centre, supported Ruffini's project in an interview. On December, Ruffini announced his candidacy for the centre-left primary election. In August 2026, Ruffini announced that Plus One would become a party on 10 October. On 2 October, Franco Gabrielli, former chief of the italian State Police, joined the party.
