BRIGADES ROUGES Créées en 1970 par Renato Curcio, Margherita Cagol et Alberto Franceschini. Influencées à l’origine par les GAP de Feltrinelli, elles frappent dans le début des années soixante-dix les groupes néofascistes et le patronat avant de se concentrer, avec leur nouveau dirigeant Mario Moretti, sur le « cœur de l’Etat ». Groupe armé le plus important, elles bénéficient régulièrement de l’apport de militants d’autres organisations clandestines, en particulier des GAP (Gruppi di Aziona Partigiana) en 1972 et des NAP (Nuclei Armati Proletari) en 1976. Les BR seront très touchées par la répression à partir de 1980, mais leur échec s’explique aussi par une crise interne qui se développe à compter de la même période et entraîne des scissions successives. POTERE OPERAIO Ce groupe naît durant l’automne 1969 de la confluence des opéraïstes de Vénétie et d’Emilie, d’une partie du mouvement étudiant romain et de militants milanais et turinois. Parmi ses dirigeants : Oreste Scalzone, Franco Piperno, Toni Negri, etc. Ses thèmes privilégiés : le refus du travail, la construction d’un parti de l’insurrection et la conflictualité permanente. Le « travail illégal », branche armée du groupe, est amorcé à l’été 1971. En mai 1973, il s’autodissout avec la scission entre romains et padouans. LOTTA CONTINUA Groupe crée en novembre 1969 à l’initiative de Potere Operaio de Pise (Adriano Sofri), d’une partie du mouvement étudiant turinois (Guido Viale et Luigi Bobbio) et de Trente (Mauro Rostagno, Marco Boato), du Pouvoir Prolétarien de Pavie essentiellement. Il est caractérisé par trois périodes : - Ligne « Reprenons les villes » (juillet 1971) : luttes pour le logement, insertion territoriale, conflictualité tous azimuts. - Phase militariste (Congrès de Rimini, printemps 1972) : développement de la thématique antifasciste et de l’autodéfense. - Ligne « LC, force politique » à partir d’octobre 1972 : structuration partisane de l’organisation, rapprochement avec le PCI et participation électorale. Il s’autodissout au deuxième Congrès national à Rimini, en novembre 1976. Le journal Lotta Continua continue de paraïtre jusqu’en 1982. 20 000 à 30 000 adhérents estimés au début des années soixante-dix. AUTONOMIA OPERAIA Origines : mai 1973, avec une coordination d’organismes autonomes de travailleurs (Alfa Romeo, Pirelli, Sit-Siemens, Fiat, etc.), qui publie le « Bulletin des organismes autonomes ouvriers ». Trois groupes principaux : - A la suite d’une scission au sein de Il Manifesto (1971-1972), l’aile extrémiste fonde le Collectif de la Via dei Volsci. Ils créent un journal : I Volsci, et ont une radio à Rome, « Radio Onda Rossa ». - Toni Negri, exclu de Potere Operaio Nazionale en juin 1973, crée avec les padouans le journal Rosso. Les places fortes de ce groupe sont Milan et Padoue. - Des anciens militants de Potere Operaio de Bologne (Franco Berardi par exemple) constituent le troisième agrégat, nettement culturel, avec la radio « Radio Alice » et la revue Altraverso. PRIMA LINEA Deuxième groupe armé, né en 1976 à l’initiative de militants en rupture de LC sur des positions militaristes (« la corrente » en 1974 et « Senza Tregua » en 1975). S’il aspire à acquérir le potentiel militaire des Brigades Rouges, il s’en distingue tant par la stratégie (contribuer à la décomposition de l’Etat) que par l’organisation, refusant la clandestinité totale au profit de la « semi-clandestinité » plus apte, selon lui, à éviter la militarisation et à garder le contact avec le « Mouvement ». Toutefois, les multiples arrestations de 1977-1978 le conduiront à renforcer les règles de clandestinité. 5 ANNEXE 2 : CHRONOLOGIE 1969-2006. Evénementiel du terrorisme.

Abstract From the late 1960s to the early 1980s Italy suffered a prolonged period of political violence and ideologically inspired terrorist acts, which caused deep social wounds and led to a sharply divided memory, as epitomized by the numerous memoirs written by former terrorists and victims since the end of the violence. This paper explores the prevalent modes that have characterized these memoirs as well as instances of reconciliation and dialogue in the Italian context.

    The Ambiguity ofViolence in the Decade after 1968: A Memoir of "GH anni di piombo" Simonetta Falasca-Zatnponi Dcpartmcììt of Socioloiiy iJìiiversity oj California, Santa Barbara In the second half of the 1970s, Italy experienced yet another crisis of faith in its state institutions, in part due to the governnient's inability to provide solutions to the high uneniploynient rate, particularly aniong youth. Mass education, the conquered right of the student niovenient of 1968, appeared to have nierely prolonged the tnne before young nien and wonien began hunting for a job, rather than resolve the issue ot uneniployment. Those tew students who were actually physi- cally attending mass universities in the 1970s (aniong the niany more thoiisands enrolled) became more and more aware of their problematic future and challenged education from within.The occupation of major universities sites took place in 1977 with the interruption of lectures and seminars and the physical expulsion ot professors. 1 977 was my first year in Rome as a sociology student. Sociology was not necessarily the only discipline at the vanguard of protests. Historically, the Facoltà ot Architecture, among others, had also pro- duced the main leaders ot the student movement. But since the originai founders ot the Red Brigades were sociology students at the University of Trento, sociology 's radicalism was an accepted fact m the public imagination, and sociology students did not wish to disclaim this belief. Thus, in the winter of 1977, the Facoltà di Magistero in Rome, where sociology was housed, closed down and Autonomia Operaia organized asseniblies and protests.

  • Sandberg on Orsini, 'Anatomy of the Red Brigades: the Religious Mind-Set of Modern Terrorists'
    H-War Sandberg on Orsini, 'Anatomy of the Red Brigades: The Religious Mind-Set of Modern Terrorists' Review published on Thursday, October 10, 2013 Alessandro Orsini. Anatomy of the Red Brigades: The Religious Mind-Set of Modern Terrorists. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2011. vi + 317 pp. $29.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8014-4986-4. Reviewed by Brian Sandberg (Northern Illinois University) Published on H-War (October, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey Political violence shook modern Italian society during the anni di piombo, or Years of Lead (1969-83). Beginning in 1969, the left-wing Brigate rosse (Red Brigades) carried out numerous shootings, kidnappings, and assassinations of politicians, judges, professors, and civil servants. The Red Brigades’ most notorious attack was the audacious kidnapping and assassination of former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro in 1978. In the same period, the Brigate nere (Black Brigades), composed of right-wing militants, organized their own bombings and assassinations against political and economic targets. Although the attacks tapered off in the 1980s, the trauma of this turbulent period continues to haunt Italian society. Italian politics arguably still reflects the deep divisions of the anni di piombo, and the historical memory of the violence has not yet been seriously examined.[1] Alessandro Orsini’s Anatomy of the Red Brigades: The Religious Mind-Set of Modern Terrorists proposes a new reading of the violence of the Red Brigades. The book was originally published in Italian asAnatomia delle Brigate rosse: Le radici ideologiche del terrorismo rivoluzionario (2009). This English-language translation now introduces the Red Brigades and their ideology to broader audiences interested in political violence and terrorism.

  • Decline and Dissolution of Italian Terrorism: the Case of the Brigate Rosse, 1970-2001
    DECLINE AND DISSOLUTION OF ITALIAN TERRORISM: THE CASE OF THE BRIGATE ROSSE, 1970-2001 Beatrice de Graaf Leiden University, Holanda INTRODUCTION: DECLINE AND DISSOLUTION, A MODEL Italian terrorism has predominantly been studied by Donatella della Porta, who published various books and articles about the social context and political system within which the Red Brigades emerged. She carried out a research process both based on sociological research into political opportunity structures and social movement theory, as on individual pathways into radicalization. Her trinity of macropolitical, mesodynamic group level and individual psychological radicalization processes has proved to be very useful to study not only Italian but other left wing and even present day Islamic terrorism as well.1 However, radicalization processes, are not a film that can easily be rewinded, nor should deradicalization and decline of movements be taken as the reverse process of the mechanisms described above. Therefore, to gain better understanding in decline and dissolution processes, I have chosen to make use of another model, developed by a group of Dutch social scientists. Thus, although I will be using Della Porta‘s theory in this paper to describe the emergence of the Red Brigades, I will use Demant et al‘s theory to explain their demise. 1 Donatella Della Porta, ‗Left-wing terrorism in Italy‘, in: Martha Crenshaw (ed.), Terrorism in context (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1995), p. 105-159; Donatella Della Porta, Social Movements, Political Violence and the State.

  • CONSTRUCTING a COLLECTIVE MEMORY of ALDO MORO in ITALIAN CINEMA Katherine Greenburg Gilliom a Dissertation
    SEARCHING FOR TRUTH: CONSTRUCTING A COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF ALDO MORO IN ITALIAN CINEMA Katherine Greenburg Gilliom A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Marisa Escolar Federico Luisetti Samuel Amago Ennio Rao Amy Chambless © 2016 Katherine Greenburg Gilliom ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Katherine Greenburg Gilliom: Searching for Truth: Constructing a Collective Memory of Aldo Moro in Italian Cinema (Under the Direction of Marisa Escolar) This dissertation will address Aldo Moro’s presence in film and the changing manifestations of the politician in film throughout the years. I will argue that through film a comprehensive collective memory can be formed from examining what is known of the statesman, before and after his death, helping to ease the continuing sense of guilt felt by the Italian people in regards to his tragic end. In the first chapter of my dissertation I will discuss the concept of martyrdom in two films that depict Aldo Moro before his death; Elio Petri’s Todo Modo (1976) and Marco Tulio Giordana’s Romanzo di una strage (2012). Although two totally different films, historically and stylistically, both films portray a devoutly Catholic Moro and a rhetoric dealing with political martyrdom. In the second chapter of my dissertation I will address the conspiracy theories surrounding Aldo Moro’s death depicted in the films Il caso Moro (Ferrara 1986) and Piazza delle cinque lune (Martinelli 2003). Both films present their retellings of the Moro affair as revelations of the truth, focusing on the possible involvement of the Italian government, as well as the United States, in Moro’s death.

  • Margherita “Mara” Cagol
    MARGHERITA “MARA” CAGOL di Maurizio Barozzi «“ Tutto ciò che è possibile fare per combattere questo sistema è dovere farlo, perché questo io credo sia il senso profondo della nostra vita. Non sono cose troppo grosse, sai mamma. Sono piuttosto cose serie e difficili che tuttavia vale la pena di fare. […] La vita è una cosa troppo importante per spenderla male o buttarla via in inutili chiacchiere o battibecchi." - Mara ». MARGHERITA CAGOL [Sardagna di Trento, 8 aprile 1945 – Arzello d’Acqui (Al), 5 giugno 1975] A prescindere dalle idee, ci sono persone generose, coraggiose e valenti, poi ce sono altre grette e meschine. C’è anche gente “normale”, di valore o meno, ma solo i coraggiosi, quando rischiano la vita e si sacrificano, meritano di essere onorati; perché il sangue è spirito: è il sangue che fa la storia. La biografia di Margherita “Mara” Cagol e le testimonianze di quelli che l’hanno conosciuta, non danno dubbi in proposito e mostrano il valore di 1 una donna che ha dedicato e sacrificato la sua vita agli ideali in cui credeva, rinunciando a tutte le facilitazioni borghesi che pur poteva realizzare per bellezza femminile, intelligenza, titoli di studio ed estrazione (buona borghesia), rinunciando anche a vari sport praticati ed alla chitarra classica in cui era bravissima anche per la antica musica spagnola (aveva ottenuto il diploma, era ritenuta la terza chitarrista d’Italia con esibizioni anche all’estero). Avrebbe potuto avere una vita, diciamo tranquilla, con un marito, almeno un amante occasionale (che nelle migliori famiglie borghesi, non manca mai), e probabilmente dei figli; invece è morta combattendo .
