ITAL 25.01 Terrorism Made in Italy

At the end of WWII a number of amnesties allowed former fascists, some of them guilty of genocide, to go free. Italy did not have a postwar process of truth and reconciliation. While fascism was deemed unconstitutional in the newly born republic, fascist groups continued to flourish, attempting numerous coups-d’etat aimed at re-establishing a fascist regime. Consequently, terrorist groups of the extreme left emerged and targeted those in government who had been so tolerant of fascists. Through historical documentation, films, literature, and personal testimonies, we will explore these tumultuous thirty years of Italian history.
