and Italian CDs. This was the only Italian movie they had.

the birthplace of the notorious Brigate Rosse, or Red Brigades, a terrorist group rumored to have committed
10,000 acts of political violence during this period. The R.B. wanted Italy to separate from the Western Alliance
and to withdraw from NATO. They bombed public places including the Army base in Vicenza. They kidnapped an American
general in Verona and in 1978 the R.B. kidnapped former prime minister Aldo Moro. When Moro's dead body was dumped
unceremoniouly into the heart of Rome, the whole world was watching.
