Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of the Bologna Massacre, in which neo-fascist terrorists bombed the Bologna Centrale train station to kill 85 and wound over 200 more. It was the bloody culmination of Italy's Years of Lead.
America's political climate has not yet grown quite so bleak (yet), but it's important to review what happened so recently that we might gather insight on what could very possibly come next.

Love Bologna, spent a good deal of time there.
Bologna is to Italy what Austin is to Texas.
Just an FYI.

This is one of those threads where I look at the title and think, “Oh boy, here we go...”, yet only two posts other than mine?

Bologna was known as ‘Red Bologna’ during the Blackshirt-leftist battling. Center of commie strength after WW2. I suppose the really big bomb at the train station was a reminder from the descendants of the Black Shirts.

Before the Bologna bomb, most of the violence in 1970s Italy was from leftist groups (paralleling others like the Baader-Meinhof gang in Germany).
The Years of Lead finally came to an end around 1982, when the Carabinieri rescued kidnapped U.S. General James Dozier from the Red Brigades.

Was it perpetrated by the Arab Terrorist Group Al Salami?

Well they were either Al Salami or German socialists from the Frankfurt School.

Great analogy – a little pocket of blue in a sea of red, then?
