The Dissident left-wing (Italian: Sinistra dissidente), commonly named The Pentarchy (Italian: La Pentarchia) like its five leaders, was a radical parliamentary group active in Italy during the last decades of the 19th century.
It emerged in 1880 from the left-wing of the two dominant parliamentary groups, the Historical Left. In the 1880 general election the party won 19.7% of the vote and 119 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[1]
