Love Party (Italy)
# Love Party (Italy)

Love Party (Italian: Partito dell'Amore, PdA) is a political party in Italy co-founded on 12 July 1991, by porn stars Moana Pozzi and Ilona Staller, the latter a member of the Chamber of Deputies. Pozzi died on 15 September 1994. The party has not contested elections since 1994 in protest of Italian politics and has largely been out of the public eye since then. However, it has not been officially dissolved and has advocated electoral reform since 2008.

## Political line

The party was organized by Riccardo Schicchi, Cicciolina's manager, as a parody of the traditional political parties. However, it was later identified as a counterculture movement by exponents Mauro Biuzzi and Marcella Zingarini. The party supports the legalisation of brothels and improved sex education.

## Elections

After a brief alliance with Carlo Fatuzzo's Pensioner's Party, Pozzi ran unsuccessfully for the parliament at the general election in 1992. In 1993, Pozzi ran for the Mayor of Rome.
