The Conservative Catholics (Italian: Cattolici Conservatori) were a right-wing conservative political party in Italy, composed by strong conservatives and clericalists.

History

[edit]

The Conservative Catholics emerged as party in 1913 from the right-wing of the Italian Catholic Electoral Union. In the 1913 Italian general election, the party won 1.8% of the vote and 9 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[1] In 1919, they merged with other clerical parties and groupings in the Italian People's Party, which gained 20.5% and 100 seats in the 1919 Italian general election.[2][3]
