The Rose in the Fist (Italian: Rosa nel Pugno, RnP) was a political alliance of political parties in Italy and one of the main supporters of gay rights, abortion, and euthanasia in Italian politics. The RnP was part of the centre-left coalition, which at that time was known as The Union.
The RnP was composed of the Italian Democratic Socialists (SDI; a social-democratic party led by Enrico Boselli and Roberto Villetti), the Italian Radicals (RI; a liberal-libertarian party led by Marco Pannella and Emma Bonino), and some independent members gathered in the Association for the Rose in the Fist (including Lanfranco Turci, Salvatore Buglio, and Biagio De Giovanni).
