THE DARK WEB, THE STRATEGY OF TENSION IN ITALY

Events that shaped the countries of the Mediterranean

An episode from the series ECHOES OF HISTORY

Synopsis

In the 1970s, Italy was a country in turmoil, caught between progressive movements and fascist political parties whose aim was to establish an authoritarian regime.

It was in this context that a "strategy of tension" was put in place. The country was shaken by a wave of murderous attacks that shook the foundations of the Italian democracy.

Who was behind these subversive endeavors? What were the links between the far-right groups who planted bombs and the Italian and foreign secret services who manipulated and covered up those responsible?
