Two logos of UDEUR (Unione Democratici per l'Europa) . It
belongs to the left-center
The Olive Tree
(L'Ulivo) coalition (currently in opposition). All these parties
belong to the sub-coalition "Margherita".

UDEUR ("Unione Democratici per l'Europa" = Union Democrats for Europe www.udeur.org) - The UDEUR is another small centrist, basically Christian-democratic party. Founded in 1998 by several deputies formerly belonging to the center-right coalition, it supported the L'Ulivo government, and became part of the L'Ulivo coalition (Margherita sub-coalition) for the 2001 elections. The leader is Clemente Mastella. The seven deputies in the Camera dei Deputati were part of the Margherita group, but formed an own group in the mixed parliamentary group in July 2002; basically the same happened in the Senato, where five senators now form an UDEUR group in the mixed group.
The logo of the UDEUR comes in (at least) two variants: they show
on a blue field a brown steeple, behind the steeple a wave in the
national colors; at the top the inscriptions "UDEUR"
and either "Popolari per l'Europa" or "Unione
Democratici per l'Europa"; as a symbol of its affiliation to Europe either a
circle of stars or the symbol of the European People's Party (a letter "E" in a
circle of stars). Logos at: digilander.iol.it/udeur
and www.udeur.org.
I don't know if the UDEUR has a flag.

UDEUR (UDEUR Popolari per il Sud = UDEUR Populars for the South)
The
UDEUR is a small christian-democratic party founded in 1999, and probably holds
the Italian record in changing party name and abbreviation as well as modifying
its logo. For some time, the UDEUR was part of the very broad center-left
alliance (first the Ulivo, then the Unione). However, being the most
conservative part of it, it was always a difficult partner. Since the 2008
elections it has no seats in the Camera dei Deputati or the Senato. It is now
basically one of several regional Christian-democratic parties, with a
stronghold in Campania.
The logo has always contained a steeple
("campanile"); in addition usually the respective party name and sometimes also
the leader's name (Mastella). As far as I can see, some, but not all the logo
versions have been used on flags. In recent times, the flags were frequently
orange with the logo [1,2,3].
