Indiani Metropolitani (Metropolitan Indians) were a small faction active in the Italian far-left protest movement during 1976 and 1977, in the so-called "Years of Lead". A similar approach was called Stadtindianer (urban red Indians) in Germany, during the German Autumn . == Background == The Italian protest movement was born during the wave of protests in 1968, at the forefront of which were students, like at University Of Berkeley in California, and students and workers as in Paris in May 1968. In Italy the 1968 student movement violently clashed with the police, and signalled the period known as "Years Of Lead" in Italy. Throughout the 1970s Italy was the theatre of terrorism and a climate of social and political upheaval. While the Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse) were a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group, Autonomia was a loose association of Marxists and anarchists. A figurehead was the philosopher Antonio Negri, considered the theorist of the movement, later imprisoned for suspected links with the Red Brigades and accused of having a moral responsibility for the violence associated with the Autonomists. The apex of the movement took place in 1976 and 1977, and manifested itself with acts of urban guerrilla, occupations of universities, high schools and factories. The Indiani Metropolitani were the so-called creative wing of the movement. Its adherents wore face-paint like the war-paint of Native Americans and dressed like hippies. The emphasis was on "stare insieme" (be together), spontaneity and the arts, especially music. The group was active in Rome, during the occupation of the university La Sapienza in 1977. The most famous episode of the period was the protest against a speech of left-wing union leader Luciano Lama, which ended in a riot with Lama and his supporters chased away. The Minister of The Interior Francesco Cossiga banned all demonstrations in Rome, but the ban was broken by the Radical Party and their demonstration ended in serious clashes between Autonomists and police for a whole day on March 12 and a high school student, Giorgiana Masi, was killed. In Bologna, where the Autonomists had a stronghold, tanks occupied the city following the killing of Francesco Lorusso by police which caused demonstrations and more guerrilla warfare by the Autonomists. The German Stadtindindianer were closely connected to the Sponti scene in Germany, so Daniel Cohn-Bendits journal Pflasterstrand called itself "Zeitschrift für Stadtindianer',〔Nadja Büteführ: Zwischen Anspruch und Kommerz: lokale Alternativpresse 1970 - 1993: systematische Herleitung und empirische Überprüfung. Waxmann Verlag, 1995〕 the popular image of Native Americans in German-speaking countries applied as well to the leftist scene. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indiani Metropolitani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
