The Italian Socialist Party (Italian: Partito Socialista Italiano, PSI) is a social-democraticpolitical party in Italy.
The party was founded in 2007–2008 by the merger of six minor social-democratic parties/groups: the Italian Democratic Socialists, the Socialist Party, The Italian Socialists, Democracy and Socialism, the Association for the Rose in the Fist and Socialism is Freedom. Until October 2009 the party was known as the Socialist Party (Partito Socialista, PS).
Since July 2008 Riccardo Nencini, of Tuscany, has been party leader; elected senator with the Democratic Party in 2013, he has been deputy minister of Infrastructures and Transports since 2014 (Renzi Cabinet and Gentiloni Cabinet).
A merger of all the parties hailing from the tradition of the late Italian Socialist Party (PSI), disbanded in 1994 as a result of Tangentopoli scandals, and the Italian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI) was initially proposed by Enrico Boselli during a congress of his Italian Democratic Socialists (SDI) in April 2007. In that occasion the party decided not to join the Democratic Party (PD) and called for a "Socialist Constituent Assembly" (Costituente Socialista) to unite all Socialists instead.
