The "Italian Left" refers to a political spectrum in Italy that encompasses various leftist parties and movements, advocating for social justice, workers' rights, and progressive policies. Historically, it includes parties like the Italian Communist Party and the Democratic Party, which emerged from the post-World War II political landscape. In recent years, the Italian Left has faced challenges, including declining electoral support and internal divisions. Newer movements, such as Left Ecology Freedom and Potere al Popolo, have sought to revitalize leftist politics by focusing on environmental issues and grassroots activism, aiming to connect with younger voters and marginalized communities.
