1978: Italy is torn apart by a civil war. On one side, the Red Brigades, the main left-wing armed organization, and on the other, the State. Street violence, kidnappings, kneecappings, shootouts, bombings. For the first time in a Western country, a government supported by the Communist Party (PCI) is about to take office, in an epoch-making alliance with the historical conservative bulwark of the Nation, the Christian Democracy (DC). Aldo Moro, the President of the DC, is the main proponent of this agreement, which marks a decisive step in the mutual recognition between Italy’s two most important parties. Precisely on the day the Government he skillfully built was to take office, March 16, 1978, on the road leading him to Parliament, Aldo Moro is kidnapped in an ambush that annihilates his entire escort. It is a direct attack on the heart of the State. His captivity will last fifty-five days, marked by Moro’s letters and the Red Brigades’ communiqu\u00e9s: fifty-five days of hope, fear, negotiations, failures, good intentions, and bad actions. Fifty-five days after which his body will be abandoned in a car in the center of Rome, exactly halfway between the headquarters of the DC and the PCI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1186,"template":"","production_type":[32],"genre":[],"year_production":[82],"class_list":["post-565","production","type-production","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","production_type-tv-series"],"yoast_head":"\n
