The Liberal Constitutional Party (Italian: Partito Liberale Costituzionale, PLC)[3] was a political party in Italy, born to represent the liberal-conservative and anti-Transformist wing of the Historical Right. Their members were usually labeled as Constitutionals or Liberal-Conservatives,[4] especially during the leadership of Rudinì and Sonnino.[2][5]
