49 years ago today, at the end of a memorial ceremony for Police Commissioner Luigi Calabresi (killed the year before by leftist terrorists), another terrorist flung a grenade into the crowd - killing Gabriella immediately and injuring 53 others. While the attacker claimed to be an anarchist, it was a false flag - in reality the attack had been organized by the Fascist group Ordine Nuovo, intended to punish the police for interfering with Fascist criminal activity.
