This "black book" on fascist violence in Naples, covers a time span from January 1969 to March 1973, marked by a long series of attacks, bombings, and real missed massacres, with which fascism and the reactionary right tried unsuccessfully to fuel the strategy of tension, to create a climate of distrust in democratic institutions, and to halt the development of the popular and democratic movement for the occupation, reforms, and rebirth of Naples and the Mezzogiorno.
And so in the grandiose democratic demonstration of more than 30,000 students and workers held on the morning of December 12, 1972 in Naples, amid the consent and solidarity of the population, was countered by the fascists, in the afternoon of the same day, in Piazza S.Vitale, the attempted massacre of defenseless citizens who had peacefully gathered in that square to stigmatize and condemn the Piazza Fontana massacre in Milan, the cowardly perpetrators and the despicable instigators and financiers.
