History

The party's best electoral result was in the 1953 general election, when the party scored 6.9% and came fourth after Christian Democracy, the Italian Communist Party and the Italian Socialist Party. [3]

In 1954 the party suffered a major split led by Achille Lauro, mayor of Naples from 1952 to 1957, who formed the People's Monarchist Party (PMP), which was closer to Christian Democracy. [2] [4] In the 1958 general election, the PNM won 2.2% of the vote, while the rival PMP 2.6%. [5]

In 1959 the two monarchist parties joined the Italian Democratic Party (PDIUM). [2] [4]
