Italian Radicals (Radicali Italiani) are an Italian political party which describes itself as a liberale, liberista e libertario political movement (liberista means economic liberal, libertarian in the American sense; libertario, here, denotes a form of social liberalism concerning moral issues, with some ideological connection with historical left-libertarianism).
It was founded on 14 July 2001, and ever since then the party's secretary has been Daniele Capezzone, replaced by Rita Bernardini in 2006. The party intends to be Italy's national incarnation of the Transnational Radical Party. That is the continuation of the Radical Party founded in 1955 by the left-wing of Italian Liberal Party and re-launched in the Sixties by Marco Pannella.
The Radical Party having become a transnational NGO working at the UN level, which by statute does not participate in national political competitions, its Italian members organized themselves into the Pannella List (Lista Pannella) between 1991 and 1999 and into the Bonino List (Lista Bonino) until 2001, when they re-establshed themselves as a party, the Italian Radicals (Radicali Italiani).
