ALI was launched in November 2013 by some leading members of Act to Stop the Decline (FFD), who disagreed with the political line traced by Michele Boldrin, FFD's new leader. These included Oscar Giannino (who led FFD in the 2013 general election), Alessandro De Nicola and Silvia Enrico.[2][3] ALI's founders aimed at forming a joint list with Civic Choice (SC) for the 2014 European Parliament election and joining the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE Party).

In November 2013 ALI and SC signed a pact of permanent consultation.[4] Also in November, the party's founding convention was attended by prominent members of SC, including Pietro Ichino and Enrico Zanetti, and endorsed by Graham Watson, ALDE Party president.[5] In March 2014 Ichino, who had since left SC, was elected president of ALI[6] and Enrico secretary. Leading members of SC and the Italian Liberal Party (PLI) joined ALI's national council.[7]

In the 2014 European Parliament election ALI supported the European Choice list.[8][9]

In March 2021 Carlo Cottarelli, a former director of the International Monetary Fund, was chosen by the ALI, Carlo Calenda's Action (Az), Emma Bonino's More Europe (+Eu), the Italian Republican Party (PRI) and The Liberals to head of a scientific committee designed to elaborate of a joint political program.[10][11][12]
