Golpe Borghese With the start of the first investigations, Tamburino understood that the discovery was not to be underestimated Between plotters there was General Francis Nardella, from 1962 to 1971 he headed the Office psychological warfare in the headquarters ally FTASE NATO In Verona The FTASE Base is located in the Center of Verona KM 50 VICENZA VERONA PADOVA 60 KM Between plotters there was also his successor , Lieutenant Colonel Angelo Dominioni. There was finally Lieutenant Colonel Amos Spiazzi On March, the inquiry made a qualitative leap. An important conspiracy member, Roberto Cavallaro, began to collaborate. , Some admissions of Colonel Amos Spiazzi and Roberto Cavallaro allowed the magistrate to start the outline of a plot, composed of civilians and military. Tamburino named the plot "Rosa dei Venti“, Point of compass or Rose of Winds in american language “Rose of Winds” operated within the security organizations of NATO and the symbol was the same as that of CIA. It represented the armed wing of a political strategy that pursued the transition, in Italy, from the first to a second republic. The financiers of the movement, were the engineer PIAGGIO and the lawyer DE MARCHI “Piaggio based in Pontedera (Pisa- Italy), encompasses seven brands producing scooters and motorcycles. As the fourth largest producer of scooters and motorcycles in the world” “ Source: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Piaggio is all world famous for the single model motor scooter named “Vespa”. The conspiracy member, Roberto CAVALLARO, revealed that in a meeting took place in the Vicenza area, he met with the financier Michele SINDONA... And in the meeting there was also: Mr Giulio ANDREOTTI, General Magi Braschi, as well as three senior officers of the Military Navy and Air Force.. 4 The fourth phase of the project subversive, deployed through the “Rose of Winds”, provided the Golpe and elimination of ministers, communists, socialists…. The government tried to prove that "Rose of Winds" was fascist paramilitary organization, and minimize or hide the situation. The investigation moved from Padua to Rome Court and it was merged into the Borghese Golpe Trial. But Tamburrino, shortly before losing the investigation, he arrested the head of SID, General Vito Miceli. The accuse was: “having promoted, formed and organized a secret association composed by military and civilians, with the aim of provoking an armed Insurrection”. During the investigation, in 1974, it comes out, another attempted coup planned for the summer: The Golpe “Sogno” “GolpeGolpe SSognoogno” -T-Tuuririnn-- The situation is worrying... Giulio Andreotti, in 1974 Defense Minister The situation was so serious that the Defense Minister Giulio Andreotti tasked General Maletti, to collect and deliver adequate documentation on the subversive activities of the previous years. Then, Andreotti changed suddenly a dozen general and admirals in order to prevent another coup d'etat planned for 10th August 1974 This coup was named “Golpe Sogno”. For the changed situation the Golpe was not activated In September 1974 Andreotti commanded to SID to communicate, to the court, the information available to service . The SID sent papers relating to the Borghese coup, "Rosa dei Venti" and Sogno coup. It was finally sent material collected by the Department “D” (at that moment considered integral) Immediately, It was evident that the “service” had followed, from the beginning, “FFrorontntee NaNazziioonalenale” and There was described contacts with the leaders of “OrOrdidinnee NuNuovovoo” Some of important members of Ordine Nuovo were: •Delfo Zorzi – Arzignano (Vicenza) •Carlo Maria Maggi •Franco Fred a (Padova) ThisThis memmembersbers iiss alsoalso imimportportantant fforor ourour ststoryory..

It was about to be implemented in the summer of 1964. It may be considered like a coup d’Etat. The plan would originated along with other secret military projects. It was created to respond to possible conducted subversive. It runs through a clandestine network, already created by organizations and structures such as "stay-behind".

It had started the “strategy of tension” The greatest exponent of this (civil) war was General Adriano Giulio Cesare Magi Braschi The operating arm of “the strategy of tension” was formed by “Ordine Nuovo” and “Avanguardia Nazionale” The strategy of tension provided through a series of attacks and massacres, to declare a state of emergency, dissolve the parliament and to go to the military power Ordine Nuovo was a subversive Nazi-fascist movement, It was divided on a Padua director (Franco Freda) and on another Roman part(Stefano delle Chiaie).

For this reason it was called, in the years 1960, to play continuously lessons at the Perugia University General MAGI BRASCHI was an officer in the Army along with the SIFAR, used in SIOS army, the subject of many merits including the German Iron Cross. Braschi had made career specialization in the study of psychological warfare and not-orthodox war, and he became, in the early '60s, responsible for the "NUCLEUS WAR NOT ORTHODOX of SIFAR (see remark of ROS on 8.5.1996, vol .23, fasc.9, ff.116-117) For more than 40 years, he was one of the greatest experts and propagandists of the “war unorthodox” Cavallaro and other conspiracy members came out the name of General Braschi only after 1995 (Braschi died in 1995) Cavallaro and other conspiracy members came out the name of General Braschi only after 1995 (Braschi died in 1995) 1969 Piazza Fontana Massacre In the “Piazza Fontana” Massacre sixteen people were killed and up to 90 were wounded.

On March 3, 1972, Franco Freda, Giovanni Ventura and Pino Rauti were arrested, charged of having planned the terrorist attacks of April 25, 1969 (at the Trade Fair and Railway Station of Milan) and of the 8 and 9 August 1969 bombings (on several trains). The two were later accused of the Piazza Fontana bombing. The strange is that, In 1974 the trial was moved from Milan to Catanzaro. Why? This is the beginning of the link: Veneto-Ndrangheta 1970 ,Golpe Borghese The Golpe Borghese (also known as "Tora Tora") was, allegedly, a failed Italian coup d' état that was planned to take place in the night of 7 on 8 December, 1970. ……… It takes the name by Junio Valerio Borghese, an Italian World War II commandor of the notorious Xª MAS unit, Borghese it is also famous as the "Black Prince", a hero in the eyes of many post-War Italian fascists To the other hand, Borghese and X Mas, they are generally considered to have been similar in ferocity to the SS, and it is with this part of their history that most Italians connect the Xª MAS today Inquiry The first arrests concerning the coup attempt were made in March of 1971. First arrested were Mario Rose, a retired army major Remo Orlandini, Sandro Saccucci. An arrest warrant for Borghese was also served, but he could not be found Later arrestees included Giovanni De Rosa and a retired Air Force colonel, Giuseppe Lo Vecchio. and shortly thereafter General Vito Miceli, a former head of SID According to several Mafia turncoats such as Tommaso Buscetta, Borghese asked the Sicilian Mafia for support for the neofascist coup. In 1970, Only in 1974, with investigations about “Rosa dei Venti” and Golpe “Sogno” come out the importance of the situation. But with the transfer of investigations in Rome, many things were hidden, And many crimes erased Many things we know only now, thanks to the investigations of the Judge Salvini, to a parliamentary committee and other trials 1964 Golpe Solo 1969 Strategy of Tension 1970 Golpe Borghese 1971-73 Rosa dei Venti 1974 Golpe Sogno Since 1974 The New Strategy A new strategy, based on the Lodge P2 began .

The course is divided into five parts, with the first part focusing on the transformation of the country and its eventual industrialization. We will study the reconstruction and economic boom of the 1950s and 1960s, social post-war conflict, and the year 1968 - with the student and worker protests - and the final changing of Italian social geography. Great importance will be given to internal migration, from south to north and to the development of the Mafia. The second part of the course focuses on the history of the 1970s, later called the “Years of Lead”, because of terrorist escalation culminating with the assassination of MP Aldo Moro in May 1978 by the Red Brigades.

Davvero, il periodo della storia italiana, che va dal 1969 al 1975, caratterizzato da molteplici tentativi di golpe e dallo stragismo, è stato manovrato da determinati servizi segreti «paralleli»? I servizi segreti italiani, sono stati «deviati» ed inquinati da singoli elementi che hanno operato al loro interno? E fino a che punto, le superpotenze, come gli Stati Uniti d’America, hanno condizionato le scelte italiane in questo settore? Si può davvero dimostrare l’esistenza di uno Stato «parallelo», e di conseguenza confermare la cosiddetta Teoria del «Doppio» Stato? Queste, le ipotesi avanzate. L’elaborato, non pretende di dare una risposta alla miriade di interrogativi: fornisce piuttosto, una analisi storiografica ben dettagliata e rigorosa fino al possibile, affinché possa essere gettata un po' di luce, su questa «oscura pagina» della storia italiana.

  • Italy and Its Traumatic Past
    How to Transform a ‘Place of Violence’ into a ‘Space of Collective Remembering’: Italy and its Traumatic Past Anna Lisa Tota* Abstract: This paper seeks to analyse cultural trauma theories and their consequences as well as their potential applicability to cases of collective trauma where access to the legal arena in the rehabilitation process is not possible. When ‘state terror’ occurs, such as in Latin America, or, more arguably Italy, access to the legal arena is systematically denied through a variety of criminal strategies. In these cases, the cultural working through of trauma takes place on the aesthetic level. What are the consequences of this process both for the inscription of the crucial event in public discourse and for its relationship with justice? Moreover, how do aesthetic codes affect the public definition of justice and a collective understanding of what happened? Introduction1 A new wave of international terrorism has emerged in the wake of the attacks of September 11, March 11 and July 7 affecting our common perceptions of risk, justice and everyday life. These attacks challenged existing ideas about the state, war, torture, prison, human rights and presented a host of new questions for intellectuals, social scientists, artists, politicians and common citizens to consider. The question of how to locate terror in the public space is a complex question but it can be analysed by considering the nature itself of the aesthetic codes used to transform a place of violence into a space of collective remembering. This process of transforming place is shaped by the performative nature of the narratives used in the different national contexts.

  • La Violenza Politica Che L'italia Democratica Deve Affrontare A
    La violenza politica che l'Italia democratica deve affrontare a partire dagli anni Settanta, ha due punti di riferimento, seppure non sempre facilmente identificabili: il lascito psicologico, culturale e politico del fascismo repubblicano di Salò da un lato, e quello della Resistenza dall'altro. In ambedue i casi, I'irriducibilità di queste estreme minoranze muove da un presupposto mitico. Per gli eredi di Salò si tratta delI'onore della patria tradito dal re e da Badoglio. E’ per riscattare il disonore che tanti giovani, cresciuti nella scuola fascista, si impegnano nell’ultima disperata militanza a Salò. Dai ranghi della Repubblica Sociale viene il nucleo fondante della destra neofascista nel II dopoguerra; e agli ideali del fascismo di Salò vanno riportati mentalità e propositi di quella base missina movimentista in cui viene reclutata la manovalanza per golpe e stragi . A questa sempre più lontana e generica matrice fascista, si aggiungeranno, col passare del tempo altri miti, quelli dell'arianesimo e del nazionalsocialismo hitleriano o addirittura quelli della ritualità celtica come espressione di una Europa forte, pura, e superiore, da contrapporre all'Est comunista e al capitalismo occidentale, soprattutto americano. Proprio una Europa vista come terza potenza mondiale, ma vissuta come rivincita sulla guerra perduta dal nazifascismo darà il nome “Terza posizione” ad una delle più importanti organizzazioni dell'eversione nera che sarà poi il serbatoio di reclutamento dei gruppi di fuoco dei NAR. Prevalentemente di segno operaio e studentesco, con diffuso reclutamento nell'emarginazione, è invece lo spazio sociale delI'eversione rossa; essa si radicalizzerà con il crescere di quella nera fino a riempire la scena intorno alla metà degli anni Settanta, quando si scatenerà il terrorismo rosso.

    Secret Societies in Italy: Origins of Propaganda Due about:reader?url=https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/secret-societies-i... thegreatcoursesdaily.com Secret Societies in Italy: Origins of Propaganda Due 9-11 minutes By Richard Spence, Ph.D., University of Idaho Italian politics, after the end of the two world wars, was a very messy spectrum, comprising a number of groups lying on the left or the right, the communists or fascists, or something in between. What was even more fascinating, however, was the presence of secret societies and lodges. One of the better-known ones was the Propaganda Due, or P-2, which had many high-profile names as its members. 1 of 8 2021/05/02, 13:41 Secret Societies in Italy: Origins of Propaganda Due about:reader?url=https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/secret-societies-i... Propaganda Due, or P2, had its roots in masonic lodges, but ran much deeper in reality. It had complex political connections, and was believed to be the secret government of Italy. (Image: Cris Foto/Shutterstock) The Discovery of the P-2 Roster On March 17, 1981, in the Tuscan town of Arezzo, a special anti- corruption force stormed the home of a local mattress manufacturer, Licio Gelli, suspected to have connections to two fugitive bankers: Roberto Calvi and Michele Sindona. Rumored to be members of the secretive Masonic lodge, Propaganda Due, or P-2, Gelli’s papers were expected to hold information about the fugitives. Instead, however, the police found a membership roster for the lodge, consisting of an astounding 962 names. Even more surprising was that the Italian law enforcement agency Guardia di Finanza’s own commander, Orazio Giannini, was also on the list.
