MILAN (Reuters) - Italian auctioneers reopened some decades-old wounds from the country's "years of lead" on Thursday with the sale of documents from the Red Brigades guerrilla group who shocked the world in 1978 by kidnapping and murdering a former prime minister.

Bolaffi auction house in Milan sold 17 propaganda leaflets and statements issued by the Red Brigades, including the infamous "Communication number 6" pronouncing the group's death sentence on former prime minister Aldo Moro, who was murdered in May 1978 after a 55-day kidnapping.
