Nanni Balestrini
Layout by Yadira Lopez
Leaden Years, Separated Bodies,
Government Massacres, Subver-
sion, Emergency, or the opposite:
The Best Years of our Life, Radi-
cal Transformation of Daily Life,
Utopia, Need for Communism,
Sexual Revolution, Armed Strug-

(N. Balestrini and P. Moroni, L’orda
d’oro)

Forty thousand accused, fifteen


thousand ‘passed’ through prison,
six thousand sentenced, almost al-
ways without any guarantee of the
right to a defense. Behind the num-
bers, the ‘special prisons’, torture,
solitary confinement, the best part
of two generations reduced to si-
lence, forced into exile.
(Balestrini and Moroni)
