The party was launched by Senator Andrea Augello and MP Vincenzo Piso in December 2015.[1] In February 2016, the party was joined in the Regional Council of Lazio, with all the four regional councillors from the New Centre-Right and one regional councillor from the mixed group.[2]
In June 2016, the party supported the candidacy of mayor of Nicola Calandrini in the municipal election of Latina (who lost in the ballot),[3] getting 6.6% of the vote and one seat.[4]
In the 2017 local elections the party scored good results in Frosinone (4.3% of the vote), Anagni (5.4%), where it get the election for mayor of its member Daniele Natalia, and Ladispoli (10.7%), where its member Alessandro Grando was elected mayor too.[5]
On the occasion of the 2018 Lazio regional election, following a series of negotiations,[6] Cuoritaliani announced the candidacy of one of its members from the ranks of Forza Italia.[7]
In the 2018 local elections, the results in cities like Anzio and Velletri were really disappointing, causing the anger of Augello who relieved local leaders of their positions.[8] In December 2018, Augello finally announced the merger of Cuoritaliani into Brothers of Italy.[9]
