The Years of Lead were a political phenomenon related to the Cold War that was characterized by left- and right-wing terrorism, beginning in Italy and later spreading to the rest of Europe.
In Italy, terrorist groups include the Red Brigades and Ordine Nuovo.

Now in this video is shown “The Reggio Revolt”, the cause of the revolt was a government decision to make Catanzaro, not Reggio, regional capital of Calabria.
The revolt was taken over by young neo-fascists of the Italian Social Movement (Movimento Sociale Italiano, MSI) allegedly backed by the 'Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type criminal organisation based in Calabria.

Francesco Franco, a trade union leader from the National Italian Workers' Union (CISNAL) close to the neo-fascist movement became the informal leader of the rebel Action Committee and of the revolt. "Boia chi molla" (Death to him who gives up).

In the period from July–September 1970, there were 19 days of general strikes, 32 road blocks, 12 bomb attacks, 14 occupations of the railway station and two of the post office, as well as the airport and the local TV station. The local prefecture was assaulted six times and the police headquarters four times; 426 people were charged with public order offences.

The issue of Calabria's capital was resolved by a Solomonic decision: Catanzaro and Reggio Calabria became Calabria's joint regional capitals, Catanzaro as the seat of the regional administration and Reggio Calabria as the seat of the regional parliament.
