December 12, 1969 a bomb containing seven kilograms of TNT exploded at 16.37, the headquarters of the National Agricultural Bank in Piazza Fontana in Milan. The death toll is 16 dead and 87 wounded.
In the days following the massacre, only in Milan, the people are 84 stops between anarchists and far-left militants and two members of right-wing formations. The first to be convened is the anarchist railway worker Giuseppe Pinelli, called the police station the same day of the explosion. After three days of interrogation is not disputed, to Pinelli, no attribution is still not yet released. For questioning is the commissioner Calabresi who leads the investigation the massacre.
December 15, 1969, three days after his arrest, Pinelli died falling from the window of the police headquarters. The official version is suicide, but the four police officers and the captain of The Grain, in the interrogation room at the time of death of the railroad, will be the subject of an investigation for manslaughter. It will then open criminal proceedings against them for murder. To the Commissioner of Calabria, who was not in the room, we will proceed to manslaughter. All the accused will be acquitted later in 1975, because "the crime does not exist." Meanwhile, investigators continue to follow the trail anarchist.
16 dicembre 1969 Viene arrestato Pietro Valpreda appartenente al gruppo 22 Marzo, il quale viene accusato di essere l’esecutore materiale della strage. La conferma di tali accuse è data da un tassista, Cornelio Rolandi, che racconta di aver portato Valpreda il 12 dicembre sul luogo della strage e da Mario Merlino anch’egli militante nel gruppo 22 marzo, che però si scoprirà poi essere un neofascista infiltrato dai servizi segreti. Mentre si prosegue ad indagare negli ambienti anarchici, si scopre che le borse utilizzate per contenere l’esplosivo sono stata acquistate a Padova e che il timer dell’ordigno proviene da Treviso. Da questi indizi si arriverà dopo più di un anno ad indagare anche negli ambienti di eversione nera. I primi neofascisti ad essere individuati come coinvolti nell’attentato sono Franco Freda e Giovanni Ventura. Freda nasce ad Avellino e vive a Padova dove milita nella gioventù missina alle superiori e nel Fuan all’università. Abbandonerà poi l’Msi per aderire all’organizzazione Ordine Nuovo guidata da Pino Rauti. Grande ammiratore di Hitler ed Himmler è convinto sostenitore della supremazia della razza ariana. Ventura nasce a Treviso, milita nell’Azione cattolica e poi nell’Msi. È amico di Freda e come lui ha una formazione ideologica di stampo neonazista. Adesso la pista che si segue è quella nera, e l’indagine coinvolge nuovi personaggi come Guido Giannettini appartenente al Sid esperto e studioso di tecniche militari. Il suo nome viene coinvolto nelle indagini dopo le dichiarazioni di Lorenzon, un professore di Treviso amico di Giovanni Ventura, il quale riferisce al giudice Calogero alcune confidenze fattegli da Ventura circa gli attentati dinamitardi avvenuti i quel periodo. Lorenzon prende questa iniziativa il 15 dicembre ‘69, giorno in cui si reca dall’avvocato Steccarella, a Vittorio Veneto, dove stende un memoriale che poi verrà consegnato alla magistratura. Valpreda si trova ancora in carcere quando nel 1971, si scopre per caso un arsenale di munizioni NATO presso l’abitazione di un esponente veneto di Ordine Nuovo. Tra le armi ritrovate sono presenti delle casse dello stesso tipo di quelle utilizzate per contenere bombs placed in the Piazza Fontana. That arsenal had been hidden by John Ventura after the attacks of 12 December '69. Prosecutors also discovered that the neo-fascist group gathered at a hall at the University of Padua made available by keeper Marco Pozzan, also a member of the New Order and trusted collaborator of Franco Freda.

The investigation is in the hands of the Milanese magistrates D'Ambrosio and Alessandrini, who decided to release Pino Rauti without dropping the charges, so that if the files Rauti was elected to switch to a parliamentary committee. Surveys show more clearly a link between intelligence and far-right movements. It is the end of 1972 the people of the Sid intercept Pozzan, a fugitive since June of that year, when it was issued in him an arrest warrant for complicity in the attack in Piazza Fontana, and after being subjected to an interrogation and having provided a false passport, they did flee to Spain.
