Socialist Rebirth (Italian : Rinascita Socialista) was a minor social-democratic political party in Italy. The group was founded in 1993 from a split from the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) led by Giorgio Benvenuto, who contested the continuing PSI led by Ottaviano Del Turco which had lost a lot of electors. ^[1] The RS and PSI were both members of the Alliance of Progressives coalition of centre-left parties formed to contest the 1994 general election. ^{[2] [3]} In 1995, RS merged into the Labour Federation, which itself merged into Democrats of the Left in 1998.
