The Red Brigades ( Brigate Rosse in Italian, often abbreviated BR ) was a Marxist-Leninist organization, based in Italy, which was responsible for numerous violent incidents, assassinations, and robberies during the so-called " Years of Lead ".

The Red Brigades attained notoriety in the 1970s and early 1980s with their violent attempts to destabilise Italy by acts of sabotage, bank robberies, and kidnappings.

Models for the Red Brigades included the Latin American urban guerrilla movements-volumes on the Tupamaros published by Feltrinelli were influential, " a sort of do-it-yourself manual for the early Red Brigades " ,-and also the Italian partisan movement of 1943-45 which was interpreted as an example of a youthful minority using violent means for just ends.

The Red Brigades were founded in August 1970 by Renato Curcio and Margherita ( Mara ) Cagol, who had met as students at the University of Trento and later married, and Alberto Franceschini.

In the beginning the Red Brigades were mainly active in Reggio Emilia, and in large factories in Milan, ( such as Sit-Siemens, Pirelli and Magneti Marelli ) and in Turin ( Fiat ).

During this time the Red Brigades ' activities were denied by far left political groups such as Lotta Continua and Potere Operaio ( which were closer to the Autonomist movement ).

Although there has been an attempt to demonstrate any link between the Red Brigades and foreign State Security Services, nothing has been proved and such an idea has always been rejected by all the militants that after years of prison decided to speak their truth in books, interviews etc.

In June 1974, the Red Brigades committed their first homicide.

Most of the Italian leftish political parties of the time, including the Italian Communist Party ( PCI ), denied the Red Brigades ' involvement in the murder and even the Red Brigades ' existence itself.

In September 1974, Red Brigades founders Renato Curcio and Alberto Franceschini were arrested by General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, and sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Curcio was freed from prison by an armed commando of the Red Brigades, led by his wife Mara Cagol, but was rearrested some time later.

The Red Brigades then operated some high-profile political kidnappings ( e. g., Genoa judge Mario Sossi ) and kidnapped industrialists ( e. g., Vallarino Gancia ) in order to obtain ransom money which ( together with bank robberies ) were their main source of income.
