After having left active politics for a while in 2010, Scajola soon started to re-organize his faction, whose leading members included Massimo Berruti, Paolo Russo, Maria Teresa Armosino, Ignazio Abrignani, Michele Scandroglio, Salvatore Cicu, Sandro Biasotti, Roberto Cassinelli, Raffaele Lauro, Paolo Tancredi and Giustina Destro.
The group was formed on 12 November 2011 by five disgruntled members of Silvio Berlusconi's The People of Freedom party and coalition: Roberto Antonione, Giustina Destro, Fabio Gava, Giancarlo Pittelli and Luciano Sardelli.
