The party developed from the PdS (Partito democratico della Sinistra, "Democratic Party of the Left"), which in turn was a reshaping of the Italian Communist Party into a social democratic party. Under the leadership of Massimo D'Alema, the party merged with other minor like-minded movements, and took the current name, removing the hammer and sickle from its symbol and substituting it with a rose.
