The Years of Lead (Anni di piombo) is a term used for a period of socio-political turmoil in Italy that lasted from the late 1960s until the early 1980s, marked by a wave of both left-wing and right-wing political terrorism. Among the possible origins of the name are a reference to the vast number of bullets fired, or a popular 1981 German film Marianne and Juliane directed by Margarethe von Trotta, for which the Italian title is Anni di piombo.
The left-wing autonomist movement lasted from 1968 until the end of the 1970s. The Years of Lead are considered to have begun with the death of the policeman Antonio Annarumma in November 1969 and the Piazza Fontana bombing in December that year, both in Milan.
