NPSI or Nuovo PSI ("Nuovo Partito Socialista
Italiano" = New Italian Socialist Party http://www.socialisti.net)
- The NPSI is the more right-wing part of the former PSI (Partito
Socialista Italiano). The current leaders are Gianni de Michelis
and Bobo Craxi. It currently forms a parliamentary group with 6
out of 630 seats in the Chamber of Deputies (Camera dei
Deputati), called "Liberal-Democratici, Repubblicani, Nuovo
PSI" (formed 14 May 2002 from three NPSI deputies and three
other deputies); there is also one deputy in the Senate (Senato).
The statute describes the symbol (logo) of the party at www.socialisti.net:
"Art. 2 - Il simbolo nazionale, regionale, provinciale e
comunale è rappresentato: da un cerchio con bordo rosso, bianco,
corona circolare verde sulla quale, nella parte superiore, è la
scritta "Partito Socialista" e , nella parte inferiore,
la scritta "Nuovo PSI"; al centro del cerchio, su fondo
bianco è raffigurato un garofano con la corolla rossa e il gambo
verde."
(The national, regional, provincial and communal symbol is
represented: by a circle with red and white border, a circular
ring therein, in the upper part the inscription "Partito
Socialista" and, in the lower part the inscription
"Nuovo PSI"; in the center of the circle, on a white
field is shown a carnation with red flower and green stalk.)
The logo can be found at cedweb.mininterno.it:8890
and www.socialisti.net/.

NPSI (Nuovo Partito Socialista Italiano = New Italian Socialist Party)
After its foundation in 2001 as a party in the tradition of old
PSI leader
Bettino Craxi, it was first rather successful in center-right alliances. Later,
however, it suffered two major splits: in 2005/2006 Bobo Craxi's "I Socialisti"
left the party; in 2007 the faction wanting to join the re-founded
PSI left the
party.
In using the red carnation the NPSI has always wanted to show its
reference (and reverence) to the Craxian PSI of the 1970s/1980s. The most recent
symbol shows a more naturalistic carnation on a white field, with a red ring all
around (with the white inscription "NUOVO PSI"). The current flag is white with
this logo [1,2,3,4].
