Laid bare against his time. And against ours. A radical rethinking of Pier Paolo Pasolini. Fifty years after his death, Pier Paolo Pasolini remains one of the most influential and controversial figures of Italian culture. Across the political spectrum, the same question keeps returning: What would Pasolini say today? Ascanio Celestini refuses this easy nostalgia — and proposes a far more radical approach, placing Pasolini back in his own time. Blending historical insight, storytelling, and sharp political intuition, Celestini restores Pasolini as a living interlocutor: not an icon to be quoted, but a restless, unsettling presence, essential for understanding the present.
