S.S. LAZIO (IRRIDUCIBILI / ULTRAS / CURVA NORD)

For more than thirty years, the ‘Irriducibili’ formed the heart and soul of Lazio’s fan-base, exhorting a level of influence on the club’s direction that most ultra groups could only dream of, as well as, quickly amassing a reputation for being amongst the most violent and politically-charged sets of ultras anywhere in the world. ‘Gli Irriducibili’ were borne out of the ‘Anni di Piombo’ (Years of Lead), a period of unprecedented social and political unrest that arose across Italy during the late 1960s through to the late 1980s. The ‘Years of Lead’ were characterised by incidences of domestic terrorism across the country, perpetrated by warring, far-right and far-left activists. 428 people lost their lives during the conflict, with thousands more scarred both physically and mentally by the senseless violence. This violence served to radicalise many, pitting students, workers, political figures firmly against each other, as Italians clambered to form factions that best represented their own political beliefs. The Italian football scene was far from immune from this polarisation, as new ultras groups with distinct political leanings sprang up throughout Italy in response to the political chaos that enveloped the country. ‘Gli Irriducibili’ were just one of the ultras groups that were formed during this tumultuous time, by the uniting of SS Lazio fans who shared far-right political beliefs. Indeed, some members of the group have been alleged to have played active roles in carrying out political assassinations during the ‘Anni di Piombo’. Although the majority of Italians managed to move past the radical ideologies that encapsulated the ‘Years of Lead’ (that is until the recent surge in support for Matteo Salvini’s ‘Lega Nord’ catapulted fervent nationalism back into the Italian political mainstream), ‘Gli Irriducibili’ remained largely steadfast in their determination to use their platform to showcase their own particular brand of xenophobia, anti-semitism, nationalism and eurosceptism.
