The Italian Republican Party is a political party in Italy established in 1895,which makes it the oldest political party still active in the country. The PRI identifies with 19th-century classical radicalism,as well as Mazzinianism,and its modern incarnation is associated with liberalism,social liberalism,and centrism. The PRI has old roots and a long history that began with a left-wing position,being the heir of the Historical Far Left and claiming descent from the political thought of Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi. With the rise of the Italian Communist Party and the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) to its left,it was associated with centre-left politics. The early PRI was also known for its anti-clerical,anti-monarchist,republican,and later anti-fascist stances. While maintaining those traits,during the second half of the 20th century the party moved towards the centre on the left–right political spectrum,becoming increasingly economically liberal.

The Italian Socialist Party was a social democratic and democratic socialist political party in Italy,whose history stretched for longer than a century,making it one of the longest-living parties of the country. Founded in Genoa in 1892,the PSI was from the beginning a big tent of Italy's political left and socialism,ranging from the revolutionary socialism of Andrea Costa to the Marxist-inspired reformist socialism of Filippo Turati and the anarchism of Anna Kuliscioff. Under Turati's leadership,the party was a frequent ally of the Italian Republican Party and the Italian Radical Party at the parliamentary level,while lately entering in dialogue with the remnants of the Historical Left and the Liberal Union during Giovanni Giolitti's governments to ensure representation for the labour movement and the working class. In the 1900s and 1910s,the PSI achieved significant electoral success,becoming Italy's first party in 1919 and during the country's Biennio Rosso in 1921,when it was victim of violent paramilitary activities from the far right,and was not able to move the country in the revolutionary direction it wanted.
