"O bianco fiore" ("English: O White Flower") is a traditional anthem of Italian Christian workers and Christian Democracy.
The anthem was written in 1906 by Dario Flori, a priest and supporter of trade union Catholics in Tuscany. The anthem was adopted by the Italian People's Party, "O bianco fiore" later became the official anthem of the Christian Democracy.
Others attribute the hymn to priest Amilcare Berzieri.
In 2000, an electoral alliance named "Biancofiore" was formed, which brought together the Christian Democratic Centre and United Christian Democrats parties (heirs to Christian Democracy) to contest the 2001 Italian general election.
Together, Francesco Cossiga and Pier Ferdinando Casini improvised a duet singing the hymn in 2009.
Christian Democracy (Italian: Democrazia Cristiana, DC) was a Christian democratic political party in Italy. The DC was founded on 15 December 1943 in the Italian Social Republic (Nazi-occupied Italy) as the ideal successor of the Italian People's Party, which had the same symbol, a crusader shield (scudo crociato). As a Catholic-inspired, centrist, catch-all party comprising both centre-right and centre-left political factions, the DC played a dominant role in the politics of Italy for fifty years, and had been part of the government from soon after its inception until its final demise on 16 January 1994 amid the Tangentopoli scandals. Christian Democrats led the Italian government continuously from 1946 until 1981. The party was nicknamed the "White Whale" (Italian: Balena bianca) due to its huge organization and official color. During its time in government, the Italian Communist Party was the largest opposition party.
