Barbara Balzerani
Barbara Balzerani was a prominent figure in the Italian leftist militant group, the Red Brigades, known for her involvement in high-profile terrorist acts during the 1970s, including the kidnapping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro. Born on January 16, 1949, in Colleferro, she became a leading member of the Roman faction of the group, ultimately being convicted of multiple murders and receiving six life sentences. Balzerani's actions were deeply entwined with the tumultuous political climate of Italy during that era, characterized by widespread violence and ideological conflict. Despite her criminal past, she maintained a strong ideological stance, writing an autobiography while incarcerated. Her death on March 4, 2024, reignited discussions about the legacy of the Red Brigades and their impact on Italian society.
