Third Pole (Italian: Terzo Polo), whose complete name was Federation of the Centre – Third Pole (Federazione di Centro – Terzo Polo), was a small Christian-democratic political party in Italy, based in Southern Italy especially in Abruzzo.
Its leaders were Vincenzo Scotti (secretary), former Italian Minister of the Interior for Christian Democracy, and Nino Cristofori (president).
The party contested the 2006 Italian general election as The Centre – Third Pole (Il Centro – Terzo Polo), independently from the two major coalitions.
In January 2008, the party formed a political pact with Raffaele Lombardo's Movement for Autonomy (MpA), whose power base was in Sicily.
After the 2008 Italian general election, Scotti was appointed Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs in Berlusconi IV Cabinet and later also president of the MpA.
