Easter 1992

Mario Chiesa of the Italian Socialist Party is caught red-handed. Soon, Bettino Craxi, Severino Citaristi (administrative secretary of the Christian Democrats), and many others are implicated in the Mani Pulite investigation. There will also be some dramatic consequences with the suicides of Renato Amorese, Sergio Moroni, Gabriele Cagliari, and Raul Gardini. The investigation will lead to the dissolution of the governing parties and the fall of the First Republic.
