Bodies In The Street, A Tale Of A Country Like Ours
In the 1970s, Italy came to the brink of revolution. Every aspect of the state’s functioning was aggressively challenged as millions of people imposed their demands. New ways of doing politics were developed including wildcat strikes, student revolts, armed struggle to people having fun.
Millions of people were actively imposing their demands - workers, students, women. New ways of doing politics were developed including strikes, wildcats, student revolts, armed struggle and people having fun. These are all part of the story.

The history of Italian radicalism in the 70s is largely unknown in this country. These talks and films look at how the movement came about and how we can make sure it happens here. When the Italian working class fought back they influenced workers across Europe. Marco will outline the effect of ‘Autonomia’ on the German Workers movement in the 1970s.
