The Democratic Alliance was an Italian political party that was originally meant to be the container (mainly composed of former Republicans and former Communists of an alliance of left-wing forces for the parliamentary elections of 1994. However, the project did not succeed, and it presented itself as a minor party.
After an unremarkable result, its components entered the left-wing and later centre-left coalitions, with the notable exception of Ferdinando Adornato, who is now a member of Silvio Berlusconi's party, Forza Italia.
In 1996 the party evolved in Democratic Union with the entry of other Republicans, as Antonio Maccanico, and some Socialists, as Giorgio Benvenuto.
