History

The party was founded by Luigi Preti on 17 February 1996 with a split from European Liberal Social Democracy (Socialdemocrazia Liberale Europea, SOLE) of Enrico Ferri, [1] who wanted to federate the movement with the Christian Democratic Centre, while Preti insisted for an alliance with Forza Italia. [2]

In 2000, the party federated itself with the Socialist Party, which changed its name into Socialist Party − Social Democracy (Partito Socialista − Socialdemocrazia). In 2001, it changed its name into Social Democratic Party (Partito Socialdemocratico). [3]

In 2006, the PSD formed a federation with Sergio De Gregorio's party, Italians in the World. After the legal recourse to the court of Rome by Giorgio Carta (leader of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party) against the name and the logo of the PSD, in 2007 the party, through an extrajudicial settlement, decided to resolve the controversy returning to the old name Social Democratic Rebirth. [4]

In 2007, the former PSDI leader Franco Nicolazzi joined the party, which was renamed Party of Social Democrats (Partito dei Socialdemocratici). After some divergences between the two groups into the party, there was a split: Preti and Vittorino Navarra maintained the name of Social Democratic Rebirth, while the Nicolazzi's group obtained the name of Party of Social Democrats (Partito dei Socialdemocratici). Since Preti's death in 2009, the party was led by Vittorino Navarra.

The party endorsed Francesco Schittulli in the 2015 Apulian regional election. [5] In 2016, the party campaigned for No in the 2016 Italian constitutional referendum. [6] In the same year, they endorsed the centre-right coalition candidate for the mayoral election in Cento. [7]

In 2020, the party endorsed the centre-right coalition candidate, Daniele Marchetti (Lega Nord Romagna), for the mayoral election in Imola. [8] In the 2022 Italian general election, the party aligned with centre-right coalition.

As a Catholic-inspired, centrist, catch-all party comprising both centre-right and centre-left political factions, the DC played a dominant role in the politics of Italy for fifty years, and had been part of the government from soon after its inception until its final demise on 16 January 1994 amid the Tangentopoli scandals. Christian Democrats led the Italian government continuously from 1946 until 1981. The party was nicknamed the "White Whale" due to its huge organization and official color.
