The Contract with the Italians (Italian: Contratto con gli Italiani) is a document presented and signed by Silvio Berlusconi on May 8, 2001, during the television program Porta a Porta.
With this document, Berlusconi—then leader of the opposition—committed, in the event of an electoral victory, to implement various reforms summarized in five key points. He also pledged that if he failed to achieve at least four of the five objectives, he would not seek re-election.
