The Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was first and always a poetthe most important civil poet, according to Alberto Moravia, in Italy in the second half of this century.His poems were at once deeply personal and passionately engaged in the political turmoil of his country. In 1949, after his homosexuality led the Italian Communist Party to expel him on charges of 'moral and political unworthiness,' Pasolini fled to Rome. This selection of poems from his early impoverished days on the outskirts of Rome to his last (with a backward longing glance at his native Friuli) is at the center of his poetic and filmic vision of modern Italian life as an Inferno.'From all these refusals, we know what Pasolini stood againstpolitical ideologies of all kinds, the complacency inherent in the established social order, the corruption of the institutions of church and state. If Pasolini could be said to have stood for anything it was for the struggles of Italys working classboth the rural peasants and those barracked in the urban slums at the edges of Italian citieswhose humanity he evoked with great eloquence and nuance. But it is his refusals that animate his legacy with an incandescent rage, a passionate and profound fury that did not, as Zigaina suggests, cry out for deathbut for just the opposite.'Nathaniel Rich, The New York Review of BooksPier Paolo Pasolini was born in 1922 in Bologna. In addition to the films for which he is world famous, he wrote novels, poetry, social and cultural criticism and was an accomplished painter. He was murdered in 1975 at Ostia, near Rome.
