am past thirty years. Much time has passed since that March 17, 1981, when a search ordered by two investigating magistrates in Milan, Giuliano Turone and Gherardo Colombo, at the residence of Licio Gelli in Arezzo, the Villa Wanda, and in its offices in Castiglion Fibocchi, led to the discovery list members of the lodge P2. The history of this country was never the same, not even the past that he could read with the new lenses provided by those lists. Well, thirty years later - and in a moment of great weakness of the Republic - Gelli is back to talk, to make dark revelations. And, who knows, it might be prepared to celebrate his part the imminent thirty years which, however, coincides exactly with the date of the 150 anniversary of the unification of Italy. In that March of 1981, in Milan, Turone and Colombo are investigating the "strange" abduction of Michele Sindona, a banker linked to the Cosa Nostra had woven his story with some of the most disturbing events of those years He will die in prison in 1986, poisoned by a cup of coffee. The two judges encounter in the name of Licio Gelli. Then ordered a search of the homes due to him. They do not look to the local police to carry out the operation but the Guardia di Finanza di Milano, under the command of Colonel Vincent Bianchi. The operation triggered dawn. And the change in Italian history. Gelli in Arezzo is not that morning but he keeps in touch by telephone with his staff while investigators proceed, despite some delays and some snag. Colonel Smith does not know yet, but the lists soon to discover, find the name of his superior, the commander general of yellow flames, Orazio Giannini. But there was only him in the papers found on his desk, in room safe and a suitcase in Castiglion Fibocchi there is everything: cards that refer to Roberto Calvi, confidential documents of the secret service, a note on account protection. There is mainly a list of affiliates with a lot of start date and card number, and another list with the same names as the first, complete with addresses and phone numbers. In total there are 978 names. It was a state within a state, he said, when the significance of this finding was unclear. Journalists, politicians, businessmen and leaders of the security services, ranging from Mino Pecorelli with Roberto Calvi, Michele Shroud Umberto Ortolani, by Vito Miceli Joseph and Julius Santovito Grassini from Gianadelio Maletti Antonio Labruna until Fabrizio Cicchitto, Federico Umberto D'Amato, Edgardo Sogno, Bruno Tassan Din, Angelo Rizzoli and Francesco Cosentino. These are names which, with certain exceptions such as the still little known Silvio Berlusconi, the Italians now say little, but the Italians of that time discovered that the men were everywhere P2, firmly planted in the ganglia of power. It's an earthquake, which struck a country that was preparing a period of carelessness which grow in a power system that, ten years later, it will collapse suddenly, between the "Clean Hands" investigation and bombs mafia the '92-'93 biennium. It will end then the First Republic, will begin an alleged Second Republic. It will be the era of the new man: Silvio Berlusconi. But in 1981 that Italy was still going through the darkest years of its recent history began in 1969 with the massacre of Piazza Fontana. These were the years of the strategy of tension, of a thousand black plots, betrayal of the State and the Red Brigades. On 2 August 1980 a Fascist bomb killed 85 people at Bologna railway station. Of that day remain indelible images of devastation, of bodies. And that bus, number 37, used as a giant hearse. This was Italy in 1981. And this explains why those lists are not released immediately. Turone and Colombo informed the leaders of the State, the Palazzo Chigi were received by the Prime Minister, Arnaldo Forlani, who was given a copy of the list. But only two months later - and we are now to May 21 - Forlani gave the country the list of names. He could no longer avoid it, the parliamentary committee investigating Sindona had already decided to do the same. A few days later, Forlani should resign. Even some in his government sat piduisti. It was not over yet. In July 1981, in fact, in a residence in Uruguay Gelli explicable in material that is recovered in part and found some supplements that found in Castiglion Fibocchi. In the meantime, had formed the committee headed by oarlamentare Tina Anselmi on the P2. The enormous work of the committee will prove decisive for the understanding of the P2. It is in committee that exists for the first time the issue of any missing names. It must be said, in fact, that some of these lists of the lodge were those completely unrelated to P2. And though the committee chaired by Tina Anselmi lists those considered reliable, although, based on evidence collected and scanned documents, incomplete. Suffice it to say that the serial numbers of the cards corresponding to the 978 names on the lists of Castiglion Fibocchi start from 1600. What are the names of 1,600 card numbers missing is a mystery that still remains. Thirty Years' Licio Gelli after he returned to speak. He did so with a series of interviews between January and February to the Piave, the time and today, an unusual circumstance for a person like him proverbially reserved. And, of course, spoke in his own way, announcing surprise when, with the last interview of the series, he returned to the explanations on some of its fresh revelations about a secret service called parallel Noto Service or ring, the 'next time', to say however, in the meantime, a clear distancing from Silvio Berlusconi and dismissed as a "partnership of business," the alleged members of the so-called P3. But what does the Ring? Of this parallel structure, and so reserved that he still did not even know his real name, this newspaper has already written a lot of those pages and see. Suffice it to say that an organization was founded in the mid 40's and was used for political operations to be completed including through illicit means, for this could not be entrusted to officers or security services to facilities that had other objectives, such as Gladio. Well, the lure of the Ring Gelli comes after a remarkable interview given by the prefect Bruno Rozera Espresso, bigwig of Freemasonry and peer of the Venerable. There Rozera alludes to a higher level in the same Gelli P2. Moreover, The full interview is interwoven with references do not always easy to dissolve and contains a strong reference to the season immediately preceding the period '92-'93, as well as an obscure allusion to a coup that is a masterpiece of the unsaid. Here, then, that if the words of Rozera seem capable of being read on several levels, the same can be imagined for the subsequent interviews Gelli, which in the words of Rozera seem to be at least partly the source. What he meant Gelli speaking of the Ring, and linking it to Giulio Andreotti, only the same could explain Gelli. As only he could explain the reason for his sudden talkativeness, which was close the argument of the real number of subscribers to his lodge, on the eve of the thirtieth anniversary of Castiglion Fibocchi. Of course, it's disturbing reference to the existence of the massive structures hidden in the news this week are forced to collect, in a delicate phase for the democratic life. Curious, then, the apparent blunder of Gelli in his interview to Time, when about Berlusconi said: "I've had for seven years in the Loggia." If it is true that the inclusion of the P2 Berlusconi goes back to 1978 and the lodge was disbanded in 1981, something is not coming back. Possible that the Venerable bad memories?
