The Union of Socialists (Italian : Unione dei Socialisti, UdS) was a social-democratic political party in Italy.
The party was founded in February 1948 by Ivan Matteo Lombardo, former secretary of the Italian Socialist Party. [1] The UdS participated in the 1948 general election as part of the Socialist Unity coalition with the Italian Socialist Workers' Party (Partito Socialista dei Lavoratori Italiani; PSLI), which collectively received 7.1% of the vote for the Chamber of Deputies and gained 33 seats. However, out of them only Lombardo and Piero Calamandrei were members of the UdS. [2]
