Socialist Rebirth ({{langx|it|Rinascita Socialista}}) was a minor social-democratic political party in Italy. The group was founded in 1993 from a split from the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) led by Giorgio Benvenuto, who contested the continuing PSI led by Ottaviano Del Turco which had lost a lot of electors.{{cite book|author1=James L.
