Th kidnapping and murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro was a very big deal at the time!. One of the greatest controversies was that the government could have saved him, but decided to "sacrifice him for the stability of the country!."
There are several movies on the event!. The most recent is "Good Morning, Night"!. You may want to see it to have a better understanding of Moro's kidnapping by the Red Brigade and its implications!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

whilst not particularly religious I think John Paul II becoming Pope is a pretty big story both inside and outside of Italy for the year with lots of influence into the following years!? also the year abortion was made legal for the first time (in Italy) which is a intriguing counter story!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
