The Italian Socialist Party was a social-democratic and democratic-socialist political party in Italy,whose history stretched for longer than a century,making it one of the longest-living parties of the country. Founded in Genoa in 1892,the PSI was from the beginning a big tent of Italy's political left and socialism,ranging from the revolutionary socialism of Andrea Costa to the Marxist-inspired reformist socialism of Filippo Turati and the anarchism of Anna Kuliscioff. Under Turati's leadership,the party was a frequent ally of the Italian Republican Party and the Italian Radical Party at the parliamentary level,while lately entering in dialogue with the remnants of the Historical Left and the Liberal Union during Giovanni Giolitti's governments to ensure representation for the labour movement and the working class. In the 1900s and 1910s,the PSI achieved significant electoral success,becoming Italy's first party in 1919 and during the country's Biennio Rosso in 1921,when it was victim of violent paramilitary activities from the far right,and was not able to move the country in the revolutionary direction it wanted.

The kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro,also referred to in Italy as the Moro case,was a seminal event in Italian political history. On the morning of 16 March 1978,the day on which a new cabinet led by Giulio Andreotti was to have undergone a confidence vote in the Italian Parliament,the car of Aldo Moro,former prime minister and then president of the Christian Democracy party,was assaulted by a group of far-left terrorists known as the Red Brigades in via Fani in Rome. Firing automatic weapons,the terrorists killed Moro's bodyguards —two Carabinieri in Moro's car and three policemen in the following car —and kidnapped him. The events remain a national trauma. Ezio Mauro of La Repubblica described the events as Italy's 9/11.
