Italia occulta

English sample available

From the murder of Aldo Moro to the Bologna massacre. The three terrible years that unsettled the Italian Republic (1978-1980).

“A dark story. Sadly, a true story. Italia occulta is an important book. It documents clearly a murky past that’s not yet entirely known” from the Preface by Corrado Stajano

Moro, Pecorelli, Sindona, Ambrosoli, Mattarella, Amato, the Bologna massacre, P2, Andreotti.

A devastating series of disasters, assassinations, conspiracies and coup attempts in a previously unpublished reconstruction by the magistrate who discovered P2, arrested Liggio and brought Michele Sindona to trial.

A series of horrific acts carried out in a short space of time (1978-1980) and mostly still unpunished. They have been gathered and reconstructed in a comprehensive collection rich in fragments and conse-quences either forgotten or neglected at trials. Thanks to Turone, witness and protagonist as a magis-trate during that dreadful time, we venture into the nooks and crannies of murky, distressing stories, meticulously documented and the result of years of research – not only about criminals, terrorists and the Mafia, but also about men from the establishment: the true traitors of the Italian Republic. Turone shows us that it’s only thanks to the sacrifice of brave heroes among magistrates, carabinieri, revenue of-ficers and police, as well as the commitment of a few relentless, fearless politicians like Tina Anselmi, that Italy is still a free country. It is therefore appropriate and essential to the new generations – which Turone addresses in particular – that we now keep hold of the thread that connects the events of those terrible years, often made deliberately incomprehensible so as to cover up responsibilities and lies.
