Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Giuseppe Pinelli" in English language version.
The events upon which the play is based took place in 1969. A bomb exploded in the center of Milan, near the Duomo. Sixteen died. The police blamed the anarchists, one of whom, Giovanni Pinelli [sic], they seized. Later on he was thrown from a window at police headquarters. There is considerable evidence that Pinelli's death was murder, not an accident as the police claimed, so the title Accidental Death of an Anarchist, is ironic. We are sure it was not an accident ... It was murder ... But this is the official police characterization of the event. The case was filed as an 'accidental death'.
