Forty years after his murder,
artists, members of the public and intellectuals paid tribute
Monday to artist and movie director Pier Paolo Pasolini inside
the Literary Park dedicated to him in the seaside resort of
Ostia.
The commemoration was organised by the Pasolini literary
parks and the Lipu Mediterranean Habitat of Ostia and the artist
Mario Rosati as part of the programme 'Pasolini40: a future
memory'.
Alessandro Polinori, head of the CHM Lipu of Ostia and
Rosati, author of plaques dedicated to Pasolini, presided over
the ceremonies.
Among those taking part were Stanislao de Marsanich,
president of the Italian Literary Parks, actor and poet Ugo
Innamorati, the 'rent boys' Silvio Parrello and Tarzanetto,
representatives of the Luciano Massimo Consoli foundation, the
poet Michela Zanarella, the director Federico Bruno, who
presented a new sculpture dedicated to Pasolini and Filipo Lange
from the Lido Theatre.
After years of neglect, the place where Pasolini was
murdered has become a literary garden in the Mediterranean
Habitat Centre on the Via dell'Idroscalo.
Volunteers keep it clean throughout the year. In recent
weeks scores of people impassioned by Pasolini have visited the
spot from around Italy but also from France, Germany, the Czech
Republic and Austria.
