Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa
From Free net encyclopedia
Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa (September 27, 1920, Saluzzo, province of Cuneo – 3 September 1982, Palermo) was a general of the Italian carabinieri notable for campaigning against terrorism during Italy's 1970s strategy of tension, and later assassinated by the Mafia in Palermo.
Born in Saluzzo, Cuneo, he became commandant of the (military) region of Piemonte-valle d'Aosta in 1974 and created an anti-terrorism structure in Turin, which succeeded capturing in September 1974 Red Brigades members Renato Curcio and Alberto Franceschini, with the help of Silvano "fratre mitra" Girotto's infiltration. Probably murdered by Pino Greco, one of Salvatore Riina's favorite hitmen, his death took place in the frame of the strategy of tension. He was also investigating the death of Mauro de Mauro, a journalist who had himself been investigating on the murder of Enrico Mattei, head of Agip, the Italian oil company.
