His negotiation skills brought him survival in the midst of his political opponents, and his dramatic release from his captors will go down in history as the seminal moment for Italian history in the latter half of the 20th century." - A History of Class in the Italian peninsula and It's mediators, by Lionello Puppi, Italian Historian and Communist Party member.
"God has saved Italy one of it's greatest souls. Italia cannot pay the Lord back for what he has done for us today". - Bettino Craxi's official response to Aldo Moro's release, 1978.
