It is a fascinating historical era, including how the Years of Lead seeped through Italian culture. I wrote a chapter in my latest book about how the far right’s ‘strategy of tension’ even permeated Italian poliziotteschi films of the 1970s

ah, great, i’ll look out for that.

insanely murky stuff. i’ve just finished a pretty awful book on Otto Skorenzy that suggests that Mussolini was actually killed by Brit SOE agents on Churchill’s orders

yeah i’ve watched quite a few poliziotteschi films recently. Slap the Monster on Page One definitely hits that mark. someone’s (?) written on Giallo films presaging the Years of Lead… but can’t remember who, ha
