United to the Left (Uniti a Sinistra) was a network of leftist groups associated with the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC) in Italy from 2005 to 2009.
[1] In April 2005 Pietro Folena (a leading member of the Democrats of the Left who had been a close aide of Walter Veltroni) and Francesco Martone (a splinter from the Federation of the Greens) left their parties in order to join the PRC.
[2][3] In July 2008 they formed "United to the Left" as a network of left-wing groups which wanted to take part to Fausto Bertinotti's project of the European Left, along with Antonello Falomi (a former deputy leader of the Democrats of the Left in the Senate who had followed Achille Occhetto into an alliance with Italy of Values for the 2004 European Parliament election[4]) and two leading members of the Italian General Confederation of Labour, Paolo Nerozzi and Gianni Rinaldini.
[5] The group was later joined by Maura Cossutta, daughter of Armando and leading member of the Party of Italian Communists.
[1] In the 2006 general election Folena, Falomi and Martone were all re-elected to Parliament in PRC's list.
