There have been theories that Moro was a black flag operation by Fascists. This would seem to be borne out by Moro telling his wife at the end 'that he is to be executed by fascists'. Any Italian people out there have any ideas on this??
sharethis is a very obscure corner of italian history, and there are several theories and points of view about the case moro. the opinion i developed through the years (although i'm young), is that brigate rosse's rifles have fired but it was also the dc party pulling the trigger by refusing to dialogue with terrorists; but, you know there are also many things that are still very obscure, so i can't say i hold the truth. but to understand the situation yourself, you should read something about compromesso storico (don't know how to translate)...it should give you an idea of what were happening in politics in those years, and of how this situation plus the exploit of terrorism could have leaded to aldo moro's murder/sacrifice(?). hope to have helped

Alternative points of view about Moro's death
Many other points of views have been advanced about Moro's death. The "Gladio network", directed by NATO, has also been accused.
Historian Sergio Flamigni, member of the Communist Refoundation Party, believes Moretti was used by Gladio in Italy to take over the Red Brigades and pursue a strategy of tension.
In BR member Alberto Franceschini's book,[13] Aldo Moro is described as one of Gladio's founders. Evidence has emerged to support this view of American involvement in overarching the strategy of tension and of known strong American foreign policies against the then looming historic (unprecedented in post war times) coalition that would have admitted the eurocommunist PCI into a government of national unity, the fear on the US side being that Italy thereafter might withdraw from NATO and that the US would then lose access to vital Mediterranean ports.[14]
Moro's widow later recounted Moro's meeting with U.S. President Nixon's advisor, Henry Kissinger, and an unidentified American intelligence official, who warned him not to pursue the strategy of bringing the Communist Party into his cabinet,[15] telling him "You must abandon your policy of bringing all the political forces in your country into direct collaboration...or you will pay dearly for it." Moro was allegedly so shaken by the comment that he became ill and threatened to quit politics.[16]
But finally Aldo Moro did not quit politics; in the month following the Kissinger/Moro meeting, Aldo Moro was heading to the Italian Parliament for the crucial vote Moro had proposed when Moro was kidnapped and subsequently murdered.[17]
