Hi, hope you are well. I’m looking for some information regarding the recent history of Italy.
I just watched Mario Bellocchio’s series about the kidnapping and assassination of Aldo Moro in 1978. Very good, by the way. But something is not clear for me.
It’s pretty clear that he was at the time president of Christian Democracy party, but then, I found a source stating that on the day he was kidnapped he was going to be invested as the President of Italy. On another source I found that day Giulio Andreotti was going to be invested.
I’m curious because both sources represent very different political world views.
The one saying Moro was turning president that day, is the cuban site ecured.cu (ecured.cu/Aldo_Moro).
The other one, saying Andreotti was becoming president is National Geographic: https://historia.nationalgeographic.com.es/a/misterioso-asesinato-lider-politico-italiano-aldo-moro_15308
Both sources are in Spanish, sorry about that, I’m from Costa Rica.
Do any of old-timers in your family remember what happened? Was he going to be president? What happened?
I feel all sources I find, at least superficial sources (Wikipedia and news sites articles) are a bit shady about the subject, I was wondering maybe I could find out what happened by actually getting some testimony from someone who remembers the actual events.
Again, hope you are well and your close ones as well. Love to all italians (my great grand mother was from Verona but moved to Argentina in the early 1900).
