PLI (Partito Liberale Italiano = Italian Liberal Party)
The original
PLI was founded in 1922, but dissolved in 1994. There were several small and
unsuccessful successor parties, but most members switched to Berlusconi's Forza
Italia. The new PLI was founded in 2004, but remained largely unsuccessful. It
currently holds no seats in the Camera dei Deputati or the Senato.
The party
symbol (that has only slightly changed over the years) shows the party
abbreviation in black under a fluttering Italian flag, around the edge the full
party name. The mainly used flag is yellow with the logo [1,2,3].

PLI ("Partito Liberale Italiano" = Italian Liberal Party
www.partitoliberale.it)
- Founded back in 1922, the PLI was one of the smaller parties in
the old party system until 1992. However, this basically
right-liberal party (the left-liberal ideas could be found in the
PRI and the "Partito Radicale") took part in most of
the
DC-led governments of that era. After 1992 the party, struck
by many scandals, almost disappeared, especially as many of the
prominent members either directly became member of the
"Forza Italia" or founded small parties supporting the
FI in the center-right coalitions (for instance the "Unione
di Centro" led by Costa and Biondi). The logo shows
(on a white field) a big black letter "L" with a waving tricolore, beneath the inscription "Partito Liberale".

At least in former times the PLI had a flag, namely the
Italian tricolore with the black letters "PLI" on it.
This is shown in [smi75g], p.
