Lotta Continua
Lotta Continua (Eng. 'Permanent Struggle') was an extra-parliamentary group of the left in Italy . It was created in connection with the student movement in autumn 1969.
The movement had its place of origin in Turin , where students and workers in the Fiat factories developed an increasingly radical and sometimes militant concept of politics following the student movement. From November 1969 there was a weekly newspaper, which was also called Lotta continua .
Well-known members of the group were Adriano Sofri , Guido Viale , Marco Revelli , Alexander Langer , Gad Lerner , Erri De Luca , Giorgio Pietrostefani , Ovidio Bompressi , Paolo Brogi , Marco Boato and Massimo Carlotto . At the end of the 1970s, the group broke up again; many members changed their previous political attitudes in favor of a moderate, pragmatic understanding of politics and switched to established parties.
