The 1978 kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades as seen by an outsider perspective, that of his family and political allies.
Seasons & Episode
Francesco Cossiga, newly appointed minister of the Interior, chairs the council of war convened in the wake of Moro's kidnapping. Domenico Spinella, head of the Digos, would like to involve PCI security officials in the investigation. Meanwhile, Brigatist Faranda is recognized by multiple witnesses. In the sweeping checks that follow, police officers arrive as far as the Via Gradoli hideout.
Between 1976 and 1978 Adriana Faranda embraced the revolutionary cause of the R.B., abandoned her daughter, and went into hiding together with her partner, Valerio Morucci. Joining the "Roman column," she participated in Moro's kidnapping and became the relay girl who delivered the R.B. communiqués to the newspapers.
Eleonora Moro greets the news of her husband's kidnapping with despair but extreme dignity and closes herself and her children in absolute secrecy, trusting in the apparatus of the state to save her husband. Despite political reassurances, the woman gradually realizes that her husband is in danger of being "sacrificed" and asks the Pope for help.
A priest is brought by the brigatists in great secrecy to the Via Montalcini hideout where Moro is being held. The DC president confesses his fierce hatred for some of his party "friends," primarily Andreotti. On May 9, 1978, Moro is loaded into the trunk of a red Renault 4 and killed.
