Suite (212)

Since his violent death in 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini remains internationally renowned as a filmmaker, but less known as a poet, journalist, critic and activist outside his native Italy. This week, Juliet talks to Italian author Daniela Cascella about Pasolini’s varied artistic practice, the persecution he suffered as an outspoken leftist and openly gay man, and the context of post-fascist, post-war Italy.
