Conservative National Party

Conservative National Party (Italian: Partito Nazionale Conservatore, PNC) is an Italian right-wing conservative party founded in February 1921 by the former 17th President of the Chamber of Deputies, Alessandro Ricci. The party believes in traditionalist conservatism and fiscal conservatism. The party was founded as a result of the political instability which preceded the General Election of 1921. Ricci mainly focused on pulling deputies of his former party, the People's Party, into the new PNC. Two Deputies of the People's Party would defect to him immediately.
