Pier Paolo Pasolini

Nico Naldini, like his eight years older cousin Pier Paolo Pasolini, who grew up in Casarsa in Friuli, describes in this chronology Pasolini's life and entire work. It begins with the idyllic years of their youth together in Casarsa, Pasolini's first poetic attempts in the Friulian dialect, the confusing experiences of early love - up to that first conflict with the bourgeois world, the accusation of "obscene acts", the consequent loss of his position as a teacher and his expulsion from the Communist Party. Naldini quotes a wealth of testimonies by and about Pasolini: diaries, private correspondence and memories of his friends, unusual photos, recorded conversations, journalistic polemics and aesthetic discussions with his colleagues - building blocks from the life and work of a poet who lived thirty years ago.
