In November 1995, the Italian Supreme Court upheld life sentences for two neofascist terrorists, Valerio Fioravanti, a former TV child star, and Francesca Mambro, who were convicted of planting the bomb.
Also upheld were lengthy jail terms for the head of the Propaganda-Due Masonic lodge, Licio Gelli, in addition to a number of rogue operatives in the military intelligence service Sismi, and middleman Francesco Pazienza, for trying to sidetrack investigations into the massacre.
Fioravanti and his companion Mambro have readily confessed to a string of murders but have always denied involvement in the Bologna bombing.
Although many believe the attack was a bid to destabilize a country trying to leave behind years of terrorism, the reasons for the bombing have never fully emerged.
