Giovanni Pellegrino, who for many years was President of the Italian Parliamentary Commission on Terrorism and an expert on terrorism in Italy, argued that in Italy there was a low-intensity civil war, beginning from 1945 to date between the Western and Eastern Europe, and between democracy and communism. This "war" reached its peaked between 1945 and 1949 after World War II.
With the writer Giovanni Fasanella he coauthored a book, La Guerra Civile (the Civil War) wherein he expressed his opinion on the seeming 60 years long low intensity civil war in Italy.[1]
This book x-rays the specific Italian situation in contra distinction to other European countries, especially Spain and Ireland. According to the authors, while these two European countries have similar terror situations, they however differ in their political engagements and precise causes of terrorism different from Italy:
- Spain with the Basque ethnic conflict and
- Ireland with a long ethnic conflict and religion-political conflict.
