In 1977 Italy's popular revolt reached its peak, when youth demanded a future rejecting bosses, borders, and compromise. The Year of Living Dangerously retells the movement's origins, ideals, visual culture, and ongoing debates surrounding its legacy. The book's second half features an extensive anthology of crucial texts, many translated into English for the first time, accompanied by critical commentary. These materials illuminate the richness and complexity of this extraordinary chapter in Italian history, capturing a defiant, joyful movement that briefly threatened to upend the political establishment's consensus around sacrifice and economic discipline.

At a time when the political imagination is again struggling to find adequate forms, this volume restores 1977 in Italy to its rightful place: not as a footnote between 1968 and the "years of lead," but as a decisive laboratory of antagonistic politics, cultural invention, and collective experimentation whose questions continue to haunt the present. [...]. It is not only a major contribution to the historiography of 1977; it is an invitation to think again, collectively, about what it might mean to live-and struggle-dangerously today
