Having studied political science in Italy and worked with the extra-parliamentary left there and I can unequivicably state that whoever said that was way off base. The PC was way to the left of the dems (although some were distressingly Stalinist as well) and even the DC (Christian Dems) were often to the left of the US Dems on social and economic policy (ex various position minister Ciriaco DeMita, for example or even ex-DC Romano Prodi current EC Pres. who is certainly left of say the DLC in the states)
