Defying the dogmas of the Cold War and a world divided in two, Berlinguer and the PCI tried for five years to gain power, opening a period of dialogue with the Christian Democracy and coming close to changing history with the Historic Compromise. From 1973, when he escaped an attack in Sofia by the Bulgarian secret service, through electoral campaigns and trips to Moscow, the front pages of newspapers around the world and risky relationships with those in power, up to the assassination in 1978 of the president of the Christian Democracy Aldo Moro. The story of a man and a people for whom life and politics, private and collective, were inextricably linked.[1]
