Popular Italy

Popular Italy ("Italia Popolare", IP), whose complete name is Popular Italy – Movement for Europe ("Italia Popolare – Movimento per l'Europa", IP–MpE) was a tiny christian-democratic faction within the Italian Democratic Party and, later, a tiny political party in Italy.

Its leading members were Lino Duilio, Gerardo Bianco and Alberto Monticone, all three MPs elected for Democracy is Freedom – Daisy. They were the most skeptical group of that party about the merge with Democrats of the Left to form the Democratic Party and they are currently cold supporters of it. Although being members of the Italian People's Party when this party decied to join The Olive Tree (Bianco was then party secretary), they were very proud of their christian-democratic identity and never left the European People's Party.

Prior to the 2008 general election, the group joined the White Rose of Bruno Tabacci.
