Pier Paolo Pasolini in Rome, 1960

Description

A beautiful picture by Marcello Geppetti shows an unusual Pier Paolo Pasolini smiling and driving a car.

Pasolini, artist and intellectual, distinguished himself in numerous fields, leaving contributions as a film-maker, painter and writer. He was a keen observer of the changes in Italian society after the Second World War until the mid-70s. Also, he often aroused strong controversies and heated debates for the radicalism of his judgments, very critical towards the bourgeois habits and the rising consumer society, as well as against Sixty-eight and its protagonists.
