National Monarchist Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Italian Monarchist Party (Partito Nazionale Monarchico) was a political party founded in 1946, uniting conservatives, liberal-conservatives, conservative liberals and nationalists.

Its best electoral result was in the 1953 general election, when the party scored 6.8% and was fourth after the Christian Democrats, the Communists and the Socialists.

In 1954 the party suffered a major split by Achille Lauro, long-time Mayor of Naples, and his followers, who formed the People's Monarchist Party. In the 1958 general election, PNM scored 2.2%, while the rival 2.6%.

In 1959 the two monarchist parties joined forces in the Italian Democratic Party, later Italian Democratic Party of Monarchist Unity.
