Italy Work in Progress (Italia Lavori in Corso, ILC) was a centre-left political party in Italy,{{Dubious|reason=Sources report that it was just a mere parliamentary sub-group and not a real party|date=January 2022}} which has been active mainly as a sub-group within the Mixed Group of the Senate. Its leaders were Fabrizio Bocchino and Francesco Campanella.
ILC was launched in May 2014 by nine senators who had left (or had been expelled from) the Five Star Movement (M5S),{{cite web|url=http://www.senato.it/leg/17/BGT/Schede/Gruppi/00000009.htm|title=senato.it - Composizione del Gruppo Misto|access-date=30 December 2016|language=it}}{{cite web|url=http://www.senato.it/Leg17/4244|title=senato.it - Senato della Repubblica senato.it - Variazioni nei Gruppi parlamentari|access-date=30 December 2016|language=it}} a populist party which had come first in the 2013 general election, over disagreements with Beppe Grillo's and Gianroberto Casaleggio's leadership.
