The Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura or BNA, was an Italian bank that existed from 1921 to 2000.
Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura was established in Milan in 1921 by Count Giovanni Armenise (who after his death was succeeded by his nephew Giovanni Auletta Armenise, president of the bank until 1995); [1] in 1938 its headquarters were moved to Rome and it was authorised to operate in the field of agrarian credit for both operating and improvement purposes. [2]
The Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura is linked to the Piazza Fontana bombing, a terrorist attack that took place in a branch of the bank in the centre of Milan: a bomb exploded there on 12 December 1969 at 16:37, killing seventeen people (fourteen immediately) and wounding eighty-eight others. [3]
In 2000, the bank was merged into Banca Antoniana Popolare Veneta, later Banca Antonveneta, which in turn initially merged into ABN AMRO, before then merging into the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.
The Piazza Fontana bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on 12 December 1969 when a bomb exploded at the headquarters of Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura in Piazza Fontana in Milan, Italy, killing 17 people and wounding 88. The same afternoon, three more bombs were detonated in Rome and Milan, and another was found unexploded.
Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli was an Italian railroad worker and anarchist, who died while being detained by Italian police in 1969. Pinelli was a member of the Milan-based anarchist association named Ponte della Ghisolfa. He was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. His death, believed by many to have been caused by members of the police, inspired Nobel Prize laureate Dario Fo to write his famous play titled Accidental Death of an Anarchist.
Ordine Nuovo, was an Italian far right cultural and extra-parliamentary political and paramilitary organization founded by Pino Rauti in 1956. It had been the most important extra-parliamentary far-right organization of the post-war Italian republic.
The 1972 Italian general election was held in Italy on 7 May 1972. The Christian Democracy (DC) remained stable with around 38% of the votes, as did the Communist Party (PCI) which obtained the same 27% it had in 1968. The Socialist Party (PSI) continued in its decline, reducing to less than 10%. The most important growth was that of the post-fascist Italian Social Movement, which nearly doubled its votes from 4.5% to about 9%, after its leader Giorgio Almirante launched the formula of the National Right, proposing his party as the sole group of the Italian right wing. After a dismaying result of less than 2%, against the 4.5% of 1968, the Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity was disbanded; a majority of its members joined the PCI.

The Bianca Monticellana or Capra Bianca di Monte San Biagio is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from Lazio in central Italy. It takes its name from the town and comune of Monte San Biagio, which until 1862 was known as Monticelli. It is raised in the provinces of Frosinone and Rome, on the Monti Aurunci, the Monti Ausoni, the Monti Lepini, the Monti delle Mainarde in the Val Comino and on the Monti Prenestini. The area of distribution is very similar to that of the Ciociara Grigia, from which it is however quite distinct. The Bianca Monticellana breed descends from a flock of about 700 head of white goats brought to Monticelli from Villa Latina in about 1850 by the Minchella family of shepherds. It is probably the same breed described as "Bianca Romana" in the early years of the twentieth century, and not subsequently documented.
The Capestrina is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from the southern part of Lazio, in southern central Italy.

Its geographical range is similar to that of the Bianca Monticellana and the Ciociara Grigia; it is however usually found on higher and less accessible terrain than those breeds.
