Overview

Founded 2000; dissolved 2008 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Freedoms

For the recent elections the Forza Italia formed a coalition together with other right and center parties (including Alleanza Nazionale and Lega Nord). This coalition (Casa delle Liberta = House of the liberties) uses a logo. This logo is also used on a flag with blue field as can be seen at www.smev.de.

"Casa delle Libertà" (House of the liberties www.casadelleliberta.net) - For the 2001 elections this was founded as a center-right coalition of five parties/party groupings. These five parties/party groupings form five parliamentary groups accordingly (FI, AN, Lega Nord, UDC, NPSI). Under the leadership of FI leader Silvio Berlusconi as prime minister the "Casa delle Libertà" forms the current government coalition. The earlier version of this coalition (Polo della Libertà) (for the 1994 and 1996 elections) contained the FI, the AN, the CCD and the Lega Nord (in 1994, in 1996 it stayed apart). According to the logos at the website www.casadelleliberta.net, the CdL currently contains the following parties: FI, AN, Lega Nord, CCD, CDU, PDC, Nuovo PSI.
The logo of the CdL comes in several variants; the one used on flags can be found at: www.forza-italia.it/Cdl.jpg and cedweb.mininterno.it:8890. The flag is blue with the logo. However, this can only be rarely seen; I only have the one foto from the German news magazine "Der Spiegel" at www.smev.de.
