"Politics have no relation to morals."
Niccolò Machiavelli

The Years of Lead, Italy (1968-1988)

"Post-war Italy has undergone bombings, attempted coups d’état and other illegal attempts at taking over state institutions. For the past twenty or thirty years, observers of the Italian political scene have postulated the existence of “poteri occulti” — covert powers — at work in Italy... Then in 1991, for the first time, a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry used the unspeakable words in a Report of the Massacres Commission to parliament: “il Doppio Stato” — the Dual State." (Rosella Dossi, 2001, Italy's Invisible Government)

The Shadow Kingdom reborn. I recommend you guys watch/read up on the Years of Lead, very interesting.

Also for you Cold War fans of spy/military history, this was the context in which Operation Gladio was formed, the CIA sponsored "stay behind" force in the event of a Communist takeover
