'It wasn't just the Red Brigades in Via Fani, as a photo tells us'

That there were not only the Red Brigades in via Fani is a well-defined theory in the extensive literature on the Moro case.

Now a book supports the lead with a photo from ANSA, taken that morning of March 16, 1978, a few minutes after the massacre. It's called 'Shoot from the right. State Murders", written by the journalist Roberto Chiodi.

The snapshot - photographer Antonio Ianni was the first to arrive on site - shows the body of agent Giulio Rivera lying inside the white Alfetta of Aldo Moro's escort; the holes from a dozen bullets are clearly visible on the right front door of the car. Shot, writes Chiodi, "indisputably by a killer positioned on the pavement opposite to the one where the commando of the four 'airmen' of the Red Brigades was shooting. Who have always denied that there was one of them on the right."

The official documentation present in the parliamentary documents of the Moro commissions largely reproduces images with such a contrast as to make essential details of the bodywork difficult to read. The author worked on the image, enlarged it and, he says, "a world opened up to me". How was it possible, he asks, "that no one has ever noticed these black holes, a very visible blast with the door open?". The reading proposed by Chiodi is that to the right of Alfetta there was someone who was part of Gladio's armed and secret structure. And the photo that indicated this was deliberately 'covered up'.
