ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a direct line between the Red Brigades and a series of Neo-Resistance predecessors who continued their partisan activities in post-liberation Italy, such as the 'Stella rossa' formation in Turin, the partisans who took part in the 'fatti di Schio' in July 1945. It also explores the 'Volante rossa' who were active in Milan in the late 1940s. The chapter analyzes the 'links' between the Neo-Resistance and the 'terrorists' of the 1970s and to investigate the 'dialogue' between the Resistance and young people in Italy. It shows that the Resistance revival of the 1970s is a complex and contradictory phenomenon. So far people have managed to reconstruct only a very partial picture of the attitudes of the youth of Italy in the 1970s towards the Resistance. In 1975 in Milan a monument is dedicated to Claudio Varalli and Giannino Zibecchi.
