Paul,

Robert Lumley's _State of Emergency: Cultures of Revolt in Italy from
1968 to 1978_ (Verso, 1990) covers extensively some of the history to
which you show interest.  For a shorter treatment, see Yann Moulier's
introduction in Negri's _The Politics of Subversion_ (Polity Press,
1989) and under the Italian New Left heading in the introduction of
Harry Cleaver's _Reading Capital Politically_ (University of Texas
Press, 1979--unfortunately, out of print).  Paul Virno & Michael
Hardt, ed., _Radical Thought in Italy: A Potential Politics_
(University of Minnesota Press, 1996), a largely theoretical
collection that touches on some of that history (Chap. 16, "Do You
Remember Revolution?"--composed collectively from Rebibbia Prison,
Rome, in 1983--is particularly useful in this respect), is also worth
looking at.

The Amnesty for Toni Negri site (with regular updates) is:
