The Association for the Rose in the Fist was a social-democratic association in Italy. It was the so-called "third component" of the Rose in the Fist (RnP), composed mainly of the Italian Democratic Socialists (SDI) and the Italian Radicals (Rad). It was formed in July 2006 by those members of RnP who were members neither of SDI nor of Rad, chiefly Lanfranco Turci, Salvatore Buglio, Biagio De Giovanni and Luciano Cafagna, all former Democrats of the Left (DS).
