My friend Nick.mon, I give you a suggestion: be careful when you use primary sources about Italian politics. Another suggestion: be very very careful when you use primary sources about Southern Italian politics. The symbol you found was the symbol of a dissident list, not an official list of the DL. The electoral law of the Italian Constituent Assembly was clear: through the National Constituency, parties running at national level must have the same symbol nationwide (article 15). In Salerno/Avellino constituency, there was the official National Democratic Union list linked to the national list of the party leaders (Cevolotto, Gasparotto and, for the moment, Bonomi and Ruini). But the national list had no candidates from Salerno or Avellino, even if this local constituency was predicted as the strongest for the Union after Naples and Catania. An important detail: the national list was a blocked list, ensuring election for its leaders (only the leaders of the Christian Democracy between all the parties renounced to this possibility, to show their strength). Francesco Amatucci, a pre-fascist politician, declared himself offended and created the dissident “clock” list you found. Unexpected event: he died, the day before the Election Day. He was still the most voted, but his running mate Costantino Preziosi was elected with 7.000 votes (which would not be sufficient to be elected in the official Union list). So, with rancorous Amatucci dead, unexpectedly elected Preziosi made peace with the DL (which needed 10 deputies to have its own parliamentary group) and immediately re-joined the official party.--Barlafus (talk) 13:04, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't know that :) I thought the website of the Interior Ministry was a quite reliable source -- Nick.mon (talk) 17:15, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
