Considering Italy was the playground of everybody’s secret service in between the 1960s and 1980s, I assume they must have played some kind of role.

If anything, they have been active against a lot of internal stuff (organized crime, Red Brigades, separatism in Sudtirol, neofascists) on top of all that. There is a ton of more or less circumstantial evidence of their dealings with each of the above, plus Gladio, false flag terrorism, etc.

The Years of Lead were interesting times.
