Bella Ciao: Italy's Years of Lead

This video is a brief overview of the Years of Lead that took place in Italy from 1969-1988 and saw the deaths of almost 500 people from far-left and far-right terrorism, as well as its post-World-War-II causes. The Years of Lead were a tumultuous time for Italy and the Italian people, to say the least. Over 2,000 people have been left scarred by the countless atrocities committed by the extremist terrorists at the time.
