Pier Paolo Pasolini
Poet, novelist, director, and actor, Pier Paolo Pasolini is considered one of the most important artists and intellectuals of the twentieth century. Born in Bologna in 1922 and raised between Emilia and Friuli, he moved to Rome in the 1950s. He began in cinema collaborating with Federico Fellini on Le notti di Cabiria. His first film, Accattone, was followed by another twenty, until the time of his tragic death in 1975, after censorship, praise, criticism, and progressive worldwide fame.
