The 1970s were a decade of extreme contrasts: on the one hand, the terror of political massacres and armed groups; on the other, the struggles for civil rights and the reforms that transformed Italian society. Italy was transformed under the constant threat of attacks; it underwent a profound change amid the terror of kidnappings; it gained new insights as certainties crumbled all around it.
Written by journalist and author Mario Calabresi, writer and historian Benedetta Tobagi, and author and podcast host Sara Poma, with an unpublished and personal account by journalist and essayist Marco Damilano, *Anni Settanta. Terror and Rights explores these contradictions, recounting a period that defined Italy’s recent history. Through storytelling, images, and a soundtrack of songs that accompanied the most significant moments, the audience is immersed in the stories of those who actually lived through those events.
