IN THE SEVENTIES
The Seventies, generally known as the years of terrorism in Italy (“Anni di Piombo”), forecast the Eighties Crysis. Moreover they provide a fertile breeding ground for defining a period rich in contradictions and suggestions based on some principles concerning country policies even though they monopolized not only people's opinions, but also the value of events. The Seventies are the mothership of rock, new wave, punk. At the same time the have destroyed the ideals that funded the Sixties youth culture. Many intellectuals and artists has tried to explain this in terms of a radical social change, affirming than none was prepared and able to handle it. Music, cinema and literature has been the main ways to “broadcast” new ideals, opinions and feelings of a disenchanted generation.
