The Moro Affair

The Moro Affair (Italian: Il caso Moro) is a 1986 Italian crime film directed by Giuseppe Ferrara about the kidnapping of Aldo Moro in 1978.

The film chronicles the 55 days of the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, from the Via Fani massacre to the discovery of the body of the Christian Democracy president in Via Caetani. It depicts the events that characterized those days, omitting conspiracy theories that emerged only in subsequent years, such as the presence of an official from SISMI near Via Fani on the morning of the attack and contacts between the state and criminal organizations (Camorra, Banda della Magliana, still active in 1986) to locate Moro's prison. The movie also includes artistic choices that contradict established historical facts, such as the absence of ski masks worn by the terrorists and the portrayal of Don Stefani entering the Red Brigades' hideout, events that never occurred.

The film was released in Milan, Italy on 13 November, 1986. This was followed by screenings in Rome, Blogona, Naples, and Florence on November 20, 1986.
