Quick Summary

The Daisy (Margherita) party was a centrist political party in Italy. It was formed in 2002 through the merger of the Italian Popular Party (PPI) and other centrist parties. The PPI, founded in 1919, was a Catholic-inspired party that advocated for social reform and free enterprise. After being banned by the Fascists, it re-emerged after World War II as the Christian Democratic Party, which dominated Italian politics for decades. The Daisy party later merged into the new centre-left Democratic Party in 2007.12
