Two people lost their lives in the incident: Emanuele Petri, a local police officer, and Mario Galesi, a member of the terrorist organization. Galesi’s companion, Nadia Lioce, was restrained at the scene and subsequently arrested; soon thereafter, she was unveiled as the leader of the New Red Brigades and the mastermind behind the organization’s killing of Italian government consultants Massimo D’Antona in 1999 and Marco Biagi in 2002. Far from a curiosity, Lioce was but the latest in a long line of Italian women who had dedicated their lives to the political ideals of a proscribed organization and who had taken up arms in pursuit of those ideals. By the time of Lioce’s arrest in 2003, the Italian public was well acquainted with the historical fact (if not always the detail) of women’s involvement in terrorist organizations. The earliest known female terrorist, Margherita Cagol— a founding member of Italy’s most infamous terrorist organization, the Red Brigades (BR), and the first of their number to be killed in action— had attained the status of popular icon or cult figure, admired, romanticized, and mourned by a certain section of the left- wing public.1 More recently, a number of prominent former members of terrorist organizations— among them Adriana Faranda, Barbara Balzerani, and Susanna Ronconi on the political Left, and Francesca Mambro on the Right— have enjoyed a rela- tively high public profile, not only for their involvement in the crimes of the period of Italian history known as the anni di piombo (“years of lead,” c. 1969– 83), but also for their appearances on television shows dedicated to those years and for the various publications in which they recount their experience of armed struggle.2 Copyrighted Material - 9781137294067 Copyrighted Material - 9781137294067 2 WOMEN, TERRORISM, AND TRAUMA IN ITALIAN CULTURE As reactions to Nadia Lioce’s presence at the helm of the New Red Bri- gades and as the disproportionate attention granted female terrorists in the corpus of cultural production dedicated to the anni di piombo serve to demonstrate, the phenomenon of female perpetration exerts a particu- larly strong traumatic valence in Italian culture. Throughout the history of Italian terrorism and its representation, individual women and the female component of terrorist organizations as a whole have been disproportion- ately subject to intense public debate, media scrutiny, and cultural represen- tation. Whether vilified, belittled, or spectacularized, women’s involvement in acts of political aggression has been viewed very differently than that of men and subjected to far more anxious— and often idiosyncratic— attempts to explain it. Consequently, women’s participation in Italian ter- rorist organizations has long been the subject of statistical, historical, and psychological studies, as well as of journalistic review. Yet, despite the prev- alence of representations dedicated to women’s participation in terrorism and the influence such representations tend to have on public perceptions of political violence, cultural production has been sorely neglected in the scholarly literature treating the contribution of women to the violence of the anni di piombo. The critical corpus constitutes only a handful of books focused on press representations of women terrorists (especially Mar- gherita Cagol) and a small number of widely dispersed articles addressing writings by women terrorists or cinematic representations of women asso- ciated with terrorism.3 This book is intended to rectify the situation and to bridge a gulf in the scholarly literature. It provides the first sustained analysis of cultural representations of women and terrorism in Italy and brings to the study of the anni di piombo a unique focus on the traumatic import of women’s participation in political violence. It advances a new, gendered critique of trauma theory and demonstrates how Italian cultural production— which persistently construes women’s participation as an intensification or escalation of the threat posed by domestic terrorism— may be read as symptomatic of the collective and cultural trauma associated with female- gendered violence. Central to the argument is a recognition that the trauma of the female terrorist is closely bound up with the challenge she poses to the established social order and to the ideological premises underlying the gendered nature of social organization. However, before elucidating the specific mechanisms at work in cultural representations of women’s participation in political violence, it is pertinent to provide a brief over- view of the events of the anni di piombo and to clarify what is— and is not— intended by the use of the terms terrorism and anni di piombo. Copyrighted Material - 9781137294067 Copyrighted Material - 9781137294067 THE ANNI DI PIOMBO, WOMEN, AND TRAUMA 3 Events and Problems of Terminology Between 1969 and 1983, a total of 697 different entities claimed responsi- bility for more than 14,000 terrorist attacks in Italy, resulting in 374 deaths and more than 1,170 injuries.4 As recounted in the numerous studies dedicated to the phenomenon, violence was employed by extremists on both sides of the political divide, with the Red Brigades and Prima Linea leading the attack on the Left, and Avanguardia Nazionale, Ordine Nuovo, and the Nuclei Armati Proletari the most prominent groups on the Right.5 The earlier years of the period (1969– 74) saw the emergence of political violence primarily as a practice of the Far Right, characterized predomi- nantly by indiscriminate bombings of public spaces tactically designed to cause maximum injury and panic. The bombings— the most devastat- ing of which took place in Milan’s Piazza Fontana (1969), Brescia’s Piazza della Loggia (1974), the Italicus train (1974), and Bologna’s railway station (1980)— formed part of a right- wing “strategy of tension,” which sought to pass off acts of public violence as the work of left- wing activists in order to pave the way for the imposition of military rule. In that strategy of tension, the Italian state itself was implicated, with the highest orders of the secret service found to be involved in orchestrating right- wing atrocities.6 From the mid- 1970s on, Italy’s Far Left responded to what was viewed as state- sponsored violence with violent tactics of its own, targeting for “pro- letarian trials,” beatings, kidnappings, and shootings individual represen- tatives of their capitalist adversaries: the large industrial corporations, the security forces, the procapitalist mainstream media, and the Italian state.7 The levels of violence gradually intensified, culminating in the watershed episode of left- wing political violence: the Red Brigades’ 1978 kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro, party president of the ruling Christian Demo- crats, and the annihilation of his security team. Harrowing though it was, this episode signaled the beginning of the end for left- wing terrorism. The murder of the hostage led to an internal split within the Red Brigades, to the alienation of their passive supporters, and to the introduction of a series of policing and legislative initiatives that would prove extremely successful in containing the threat of political violence. A series of mass arrests in the years 1981– 83 effectively brought a halt to the reign of terror. In the overview of events presented previously, and throughout this book, I make liberal use of the terms terrorism and terrorist. It should be noted, however, that there is no universally agreed understanding— legal or academic— of what terrorism is.8 At a legal level, governments, state bod- ies, and international agencies employ a range of diverse and often impre- cise definitions of terrorism.

  • Conversations with Francesco Cossiga
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 2, No. 2, 2010, 141-162 Conversations with Francesco Cossiga Alison Jamieson The article is an extract from five exclusive interviews, recorded over several months in 2009, with former Italian president, Francesco Cossiga, who died on 17 August 2010. Born in 1928 in Sardinia, Cossiga was a life Senator in the Italian parliament, to which he was first elected for the Christian Democratic Party in 1958. His second cousin, Enrico Berlinguer, was secretary of the Italian Communist party from 1972 until his death in 1984. Cossiga held the offices of interior minister, prime minister, speaker of the Senate and president of the republic. He resigned as interior minister on 9 May 1978 after the murder of Aldo Moro, but returned as prime minister from August 1979 till October 1980. Considered a specialist in the areas of intelligence and security, Cossiga was proud of his association with the secret Stay Behind network known as Gladio, and took credit for setting up Italy’s anti-terrorist rapid response units. Church and State The first of five recorded conversations with President Cossiga occurred on the thirty-fifth anniversary of the divorce referendum. I began by asking him about the political significance of the vote, which had returned a large majority in favour of retaining divorce. The victories of the Christian Democratic party in 1947 and 1948 were erroneously seen as those of the Catholic Church and of Catholicism. The victories were due to a more complex series of factors: many non-believers voted DC, most Italian Jews voted DC while the others voted for the Republican Party.

  • Milan and the Memory of Piazza Fontana Elena Caoduro Terrorism
    Performing Reconciliation: Milan and the Memory of Piazza Fontana Elena Caoduro Terrorism was arguably the greatest challenge faced by Western Europe in the 1970s with the whole continent shaken by old resentments which turned into violent revolt: Corsican separatists in France, German speaking minorities in Italy’s South Tyrol, and Flemish nationalists in Belgium. Throughout that decade more problematic situations escalated in the Basque Provinces and Northern Ireland, where ETA and the Provisional IRA, as well as the Loyalist paramilitary groups (such as the UVF, and UDA) participated in long armed campaigns. According to Tony Judt, two countries in particular, West Germany and Italy, witnessed a different violent wave, as the radical ideas of 1968 did not harmlessly dissipate, but turned into a ‘psychosis of self- justifying aggression’ (2007, p. 469). In Italy, the period between 1969 and 1983, where political terrorism reached its most violent peak, is often defined as anni di piombo, ‘the years of lead’. This idiomatic expression derives from the Italian title given to Margarethe Von Trotta’s Die bleierne Zeit (1981, W. Ger, 106 mins.), also known in the UK as The German Sisters and in the USA as Marianne and Juliane.1 Following the film’s Golden Lion award at the 1981 Venice Film Festival, the catchy phrase ‘years of lead’ entered common language, and is now accepted as a unifying term for the various terrorist phenomena occurred in the long 1970s, both in Italy and West Germany. By the mid 1980s, however, terrorism had begun to decline in Italy. Although isolated episodes of left-wing violence continued to occur – two governmental consultants were murdered in 1999 and in 2002 respectively – special laws and the reorganisation of anti-terrorist police forces enabled its eradication, as did the 1 collaboration of many former radical militants.

Los Angeles, Calif.: Semiotext(e), 2013. 264 pp. $16.95 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-1-58435-121-4. Review by Giuseppina Mecchia, University of Pittsburgh. Scholars of French history--and French Studies in general--will doubtlessly be surprised to encounter the name of a controversial Italian political philosopher in a book presented as a chronicle of an important turning point in recent French history. And in a way, we are indeed faced with a case of false- -or maybe incomplete--advertising, since the book is at the same time much more and much less of what it claims to be in the first paragraph of its back-cover description. Written by Antonio Negri during his years of exile in Paris, the essays contained in this volume first appeared as a collection in Italy in 1996. The motivation for the publication was the renewal of leftist struggles that France had witnessed in December 1995, when a wave of public workers strikes had paralyzed the country for several weeks in a vast insurrectional mode reminiscent not only of May 68, but of nineteenth-century barricades and revolutionary upheavals. After a prolonged latency under the aegis of Reaganism andThatcherism, it seemed that “the winter” of capitalist and State repression might finally be “over,” a feeling that is reflected in the collection’s title. The elation apparent in Negri’s original introduction to the book is easily understandable, given his own political and intellectual history.

NATO’s determination and solidarity in fighting the evolving challenge posed by terrorism has constantly increased since the Alliance invoked its collective defence clause for the first time in response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States of America.

It was at this time that the antagonist movement in Italy finally shed all its taboos concerning destruction, violence, and the use of arms against the class enemy. It became normal to respond to the humiliation and tyranny of capitalism with the arms considered to be the most effective for doing so, and acts of violence by bosses, police, and fascists found an immediate re­ sponse both in the streets and in specific retaliatory actions against them. During this period a vast quantity of groups and struggle organisations emerged, convinced of the need to extend and heighten the armed struggle against capital.
