360 Association (Associazione 360) is a centrist association connected to the Democratic Party (PD), a political party in Italy. It is led by Enrico Letta and that is why its members are often called Lettiani.
The association was founded during the summer of 2007 in support of the candidacy of Enrico Letta, a former Christian Democrat, to the leadership of the newly formed party[1] and represents a centrist position within the party, as he has good relations with almost all the factions of the party, including Veltroniani, Rutelliani, Dalemiani and the Reformists and Democrats, Olivists, of which he has been considered a member, and The Populars, of which he is currently member.
One major goals of the group is to lead the party into an alliance with the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC), while it is critical with the populist Italy of Values party, a traditional ally of the Democrats.[2][3][4] In a meeting organized by 360 in June 2008 in Piacenza, UDC leader Pier Ferdinando Casini, explained that he could easily be member of a party alongside Letta, but not with Antonio Di Pietro's Italy of Values.[5]
Umberto Ranieri, a former Democrat of the Left, is president of the association.
