Anni di piombo:the hidden networkan atlas by Giacomo Boffo

Introduction

On the 12nd of December 1969, a bomb explodedin the Agricolture Bank in Piazza Fontana, Milan,killing 17 and injuring 88.It was the beginning of the so called “anni di piombo” (years of lead) period, a season of unprecedented political violence in Italy that lasteduntil the early eighties.Most of the delicts during this season have been attributed, officially or unofficially, to either fascisteither communist extremist groups, but the storyis much more complicated than that, and includes criminal organizations as well as italian and american secret services.The aim of this atlas is to show the network of responsibilities behind these bloody facts.Nonenthless, this booklet is intended to give a general overview of the issue more than a detailed information; the reader willing to deepen the subjectshould consult the vast literature available on it.
