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. While Italy was not the sole European country to experience extremist terrorism,which also occurred in France,Germany,Ireland,and Spain,the murder of Moro was the apogee of Italy's Years of Lead.
