The Italian Revolutionary Socialist Party (Italian: Partito Socialista Rivoluzionario Italiano, PSRI) was a socialist political party in Italy. Formed by the Italian anarchist Andrea Costa, the party's stated aim was a social revolution to establish a dictatorship of the proletariat, although it soon became an electoral platform for Costa. Based in Romagna, the party gained traction among socialists during its conflict with the anarchists, but it ultimately failed to unite Italian socialists under its banner. The formation of a unified Italian Socialist Party was taken over by the Marxist Filippo Turati, who completed its formation in August 1892.
