Historical Analysis of 1979 Political-Judicial Attack on Italy's Central Bank

A new historical study examines the March 1979 political and judicial assault on the Bank of Italy. Economist Beniamino Andrea Piccone has published a detailed work analyzing this event, which involved the decapitation of the central bank's leadership. The action was reportedly carried out by Rome's prosecutor's office during the transition period between the 1970s and 1980s, with connections to the Andreotti government component then in power. The research addresses a significant gap in historical reconstructions of this period.
