Talk about someone in your country who you admire most : Pier Paolo Pasolini
Pier Paolo Pasolini was an italian movies director,writer and poet , born in Bologna in 1922.
He was not only a director but also an author because he wrote most of his movie's screenplays.
Pasolini was a man full of contradictions: on one hand he was a great intellecual man with profetic ideas about the media's political influences on people and society.
On the other hand he was a man possessed by an insane sexual passion for the young boys.
One of most important Pasolini's movies is " Accattone ", realized in 1961.
It was also his first movie at all .
The screenplay, also written by Pasolini taking inspiration by his novel " Una vita violenta", is about the every day life of a working class guy in the degraded suburb of Rome.
During all his life and all his artistic career, he was always most interested of the life and the problems of poor people from the periferical areas of the city.
He also shared this storyes in his famous long novel of 1955 " Ragazzi di vita " ( The Ragazzi ).
Pasolini was murdred in 1972 by one of these boys whose he had date.
His dead body was found on the beach of Ostia, a seaside near Rome.
I admire this author for the beauty and the deepness of his artistic works, as the movies, as the novels and poems.
I like also his clear vision of life and of history and the way he told the existence of the italian working class in the early sixties.
To be more realistic , as Vittorio DeSica before, he frequently picked his actors from the street.

Hi Gaetano! I read this book several years ago! I think that it's a beautiful novel but actually I don't remeber so much of them!
Surely I'll read it again when I'll finish all the books that I'm already reading!
