The new flag of Democratic Party of the Left (Partito
Democratico della Sinistra) is used in all the officials
demonstrations and it is the party logo on red.
Mark Fromm, 21 December 2000
The name Partito Democratico della Sinistra was changed into
Democratici di Sinistra (or I Democratici di Sinitra), this to be
more opened to the other components of the left.
Jérôme Sterkers, 14 November 2001
One can see a photo of the flag at www.roma.democraticidisinistra.it.

At the 1st May demonstrations in Munich there are also always
political parties and groups from foreign countries including
Italy. Flag of DS (Democratici di Sinistra = Democrats of the
Left) - The DS is the largest party of the L'Ulivo coalition. The
main fraction of the former PCI (Partito Comunista Italiano =
Italian Communist Party) adopted a new name in 1991: PDS (Partito
Democratico della Sinistra = Democratic Party of the Left). It
has renamed itself again in 1998 (absorbing several smaller left
parties) into DS. The symbol of the DS shows (on a white circle)
a tree on a green base; at the top the black inscription
"DEMOCRATICI DI SINISTRA"; at the bottom the symbol of
the PSE/PES, the European Socialist Party, a red rose in a circle
of 12 black stars (already reported by me 16 May). The flag is
red with the symbol in the center.

In 1998, the PDS (main fraction of the old Communist Party) again changed its
name, this time into DS (Democratici di Sinistra = Democrats of
the Left). The logo and flag were also changed, as already
described.

In 1991, the main fraction of the Communist
Party (Partito dei Comunisti Italiani) renamed the party into
PDS (Partito Democratico della Sinistra = Democratic Party of the
Left). The logo and the flag were changed as well. The new logo
showed an oak tree with its roots in the old PCI symbol, as well
as the name of the party. The flag was red with the logo in the
center. Two variants of the logo were also used: either with the
additional inscription "SINISTRA DEMOCRATICA"
(Democratic Left) or the inscription "SINISTRA EUROPEA"
(European Left). However, I have not seen these logo variants
used on flags.

It is "Youth Left" flag
Santiago Dotor, 13 September 1999
The youth organization of the DS (formerly PDS) is the
"Sinistra Giovanile" (Youth Left). The flag shows
the logo (a yellow outline of a rose with inscriptions
"sinistra giovanile" and "sg") as well as the
inscription "Sinistra giovanile".
