SERIES: HISTORY OF ITALIAN PROGRESSIVE ROCK In 1976, the deep crisis that Italy continues unabated.
Politically, alternate three legislatures - any Democrat -, two of which were chaired by Aldo Moro and, since July 29, one called Andreotti III will be the first to include members of the PCI and independent left.
In March , the effects of 'austerity since 1973 compel citizens to heavy emergency measures, culminating in the devaluation of the Lira 12%, the ' tax increase, the escalator block and a little later, the elimination of certain holidays existed for centuries: Saint Joseph, Saints Peter and Paul, Corpus Christi .
L ' abortion continues to be a crime but, thanks to the efforts of the feminist movement and Radicals, April 15 are presented in cassation 700,000 signatures that require legalization. It will take two years to see results.
The so-called strategy of tension does not stop with the arrest of BR Curcio in January, but continues to claim victims among which the judge Occorso at that time was investigating the massacre of Piazza Fontana , on the relationship between neo-fascist movements and secret services diverted, and the Masonic Lodge "Propaganda 2 " that will join two years later, the current Chairman of the Italian.
In terms antagonist, one of the leading of 1976 was certainly the violent crisis that swept the dissident groups and creative, advanced by De Gregori trial in April, broke with the Parco Lambro Festival in June and ended with the dissolution of Lotta Continua in November.
The main driving force behind the breakup was certainly the " crisis of militancy, which occurred because of failure to overtake PCI against Christian Democrats in the elections of June 20.
Generations of young people set as their policy objective the overthrow of the system bourgeois-Democrat, not only fail suddenly saw years of sacrifice and struggle , but seriously began to wonder what their further involvement would be more sensible. This is especially true when a new subject extrapartitico (young people born in the peripheral urban slums who wanted to regain possession of their own territory) and women's movement were putting hard crisis in the myths of tradition terzinternazionalista . After the election defeat, so if the problem was pursued in the "dialogue dissident ” con il Partito-guida o staccarsene completamente, conquistando e autogestendo i propri spazi a partire dalle nuove esigenze collettive.
Alla fine dei conti, la teoria del “ personale è politico ” ebbe la meglio e si concretò nel giro di un anno nel movimento del ’77 .
In sintesi, il 1976 fu un vero e proprio terremoto ideologico ed esistenziale che diede il colpo di grazia non solo ai militanti dei “ gruppi ”, ma anche a tutte quelle realtà artistiche e creative che sinora erano state veicolate dal movimento.
La disfatta avvenne Just six days after the election during the traumatic Parco Lambro Festival in Milan (26-30 June) , where the "old " movement had to admit between violence, heroin and expropriations , 's inability to reconstruct in a single body all parts , helplessly all'insanabile rift between two generations: the anarcho-nihilist prevalent in sub-matrix and the proletarian militant .
The regroup in the wake of the statement that followed the new requirements: certainly preluse da nuove immaginazioni, ma con canoni completamente differenti da quello storico collettivo Controculturale che, tra le mille cose, aveva amato, promosso e catalizzato per esempio, il Progressive Italiano . In sostanza, da quei piovosi giorni di giugno, per il Pop di casa nostra nulla fu più come prima: linguaggio, ambientazione, protagonisti e organizzazione.
L'agonia del "movimento" priverà il Prog non solo di un importantissimo canale promozionale (demandandone la veicolazione alle poche Radio libere democratiche che lo trasmettevano) , ma anche di quelle forme organizzative libere e autogestite in cui il desiderio creativo sorpassava di gran lunga quello commerciale.
Dialetticamente, scompare definitivamente l’aulica comunicatività degli anni passati per lasciare spazio a forme espressive più dirette e non più riconducibili ad un solo genere musicale , quanto semmai, alla sommatoria di più impulsi differenziati .
Il livello dello scontro viene resettato nuovamente ad una fase pre-movimentista che si concreterà in breve nella rivoluzione del Punk and '77 Bologna, with its full load of despair and irony.
The Prog therefore, was over.
Then there was no time for looking back, but now that we are fortunate to do so with confidence, we can certify with confidence that the season that went from 1969 to 1976 represented, in spite of many painful aspects, one of his most exciting and significant of our music and our society.
Even today, fine-tuning hearing, we can meet hundreds of music tracks or the presence of players of those years. This means that has been limited to, the season of Prog showed that it was possible to achieve virtually also wildest dreams, proving that sometimes "do " is not so complicated.
enough to want it.
