Dalemiani

Dalemiani referred to the followers of Massimo D'Alema, a former leading member of the Democratic Party, a political party in Italy.

The Dalemiani were generally social democrats who want the party to join the Party of European Socialists^{[citation needed]}. D'Alema organized his faction as Reformists and Democrats, welcoming also some Lettiani^{[citation needed]} and some Populars^{[citation needed]}. Historic Dalemiani include Peppino Caldarola, Pier Luigi Bersani, Anna Finocchiaro, Nicola Latorre and Marco Minniti^{[citation needed]}.

At the 2009 leadership election D'Alema supported Bersani.^[1] However, since his election, Bersani gained autonomy^{[citation needed]}, so that journalists started to talk about Bersaniani.
