Luke, I too like your forward vision and the myriad of factors you tie together almost effortlessly. Exquisite presentation, bravo sir. Tasteful and elegant.
Pardon my lack of knowledge on the subject by why or who bombed the train station in 1980? Terrorists? For what reason (not that a reason is ever necessary for those who don't value life)?
Thanks for sharing such a personal undertaking.

Quick source with basic info... Wiki:
August 2nd, 1980
At 10:25 a.m., a timed improvised explosive deviceTNT, T4 and a "Compound B", also known as Composition B. The explosion destroyed most of the main building and hit the Ancona–Chiasso train that was waiting at the first platform. The blast was heard for miles. The roof of the waiting room collapsed onto the passengers, which greatly increased the total number killed in the terrorist attack. (IED) contained in an unattended suitcase detonated inside an air-conditioned waiting room, which, the month being August (and with air conditioning being uncommon in Italy at the time), was crammed full of people. On that summer Saturday the station was full of tourists and the city was unprepared for such a massive incident. There were not enough ambulances, so buses and taxis were used to transport wounded victims to hospitals.
The attack was recorded as the worst atrocity in Italy since WWII.[1]
The next day, police investigators found metal fragments and scraps of plastics near the source of the explosion.[2] The Italian Government led by Prime Minister Francesco Cossiga first assumed the explosion to have been caused by an accident, but within a short time the NAR were shown to be responsible for the terrorist attack. Later, in a special session to the Senate, Cossiga supported the theory that neofascists were behind the attack, "unlike leftist terrorism, which strikes at the heart of the state through its representatives, black terrorism prefers the massacre because it promotes panic and impulsive reactions.

Thanks for the Wiki, duly noted. Hadn't heard of the NAR to be honest and my wife and I are both news hounds. Wasn't married back in 1980 but still read the paper extensively.
I didn't have time to Google the incident as I was rushing off to a meeting. Just now got home and fired the laptop back up. Sadly, my HP has been getting my attention more than my Duc! Still, must work to pay for all the toys, no?
