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

History

They have been active since the unification of Italy as a parliamentary group of which brought together the most intransigent Catholic politicians of the hemicycle (which is why they are often referred to as the Historical far right).

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