Abstract
"The responses to Cossiga’s revisionist readings not only illustrate how the general interpretations of Italian political violence remain extraordinarily controversial, despite the ending of violence, the vastly increased knowledge of its details, and the freedom from the tyranny of considering the immediate political and judicial implications of any and every statement about the nature of violence. Notwithstanding the extraordinary accumulation of evidence bearing on all of the above issues, gathered over the past decade in judicial investigations, Parliamentary Commissions of Enquiry and academic analyses, little public agreement on what the substantive answers actually were had been achieved. The conflicts unleashed by the proposal to pardon Curcio illustrate some of the aspects of Italy’s own recent past that remain unmasterable. Cossiga’s procedure for national reconciliation failed as completely to relieve the tyranny of the past as other, incomparably more significant, rituals of reconciliation (Maier, 1988)."(pg 8)
