The party was launched in 2009 as electoral list for the candidacy of Francesco Schittulli to the presidency of the province of Bari.
Schittulli, supported by the centre-right coalition, won the electoral competition with 50.05% of the vote, while the Schittulli Movement obtained 9.5% of the vote and 5 provincial councillors.

In 2021 the Schittulli Movement enters into a political agreement with Us with Italy, with the prospect of presenting joint lists in local elections.
