The committees were launched by Renzi during the 2018 Leopolda convention in Florence,[3] and were seen by many as the beginning of a Renzi's personal party.[4]
On 17 September, during an interview to Italian newspaper la Repubblica, Renzi announced his intention to leave the PD and create a new parliamentary group led by himself.[5] On the same day, interviewed by Bruno Vespa during the late-night TV talk-show Porta a Porta, he officially launched Italia Viva (IV).[6] This brought the end of Back to the Future as a party faction; however, the Civic Action Committees continued to exist as the territorial structure of the new movement.[7]
