Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini (died 1975) was born in Bologna on 5 March 1922, the son of an army officer. He spent the war years in Friuli, at Casarsa della Delizia, wrote his first poems in Friulian and founded an academy of that language. In 1949 a scandal forced him to leave Friuli: he left for Rome with his mother in January 1950 and lived there at first in poverty. He came to cinema as a screenwriter, became a filmmaker, and was murdered at Ostia on 2 November 1975.
