Pier Paolo Pasolini photographed by masters in Friuli exhibition

A two-venue exhibition in Friuli, 'Pier Paolo Pasolini. Sotto gli occhi del mondo', explores the writer and filmmaker's relationship with photography. Curated by Silvia Martín Gutiérrez and Marco Antonio Bazzocchi, the show presents results of years of philological research, recovering stories behind iconic portraits by photographers including Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Duane Michals. At Villa Manin in Codroipo, the exhibition opens a new exhibition space separate from the 19th-century villa, closed for four years for maintenance. At the Centro Studi Pier Paolo Pasolini in Casarsa della Delizia, housed in Casa Colussi (the birthplace of Pasolini's mother), a renovated layout completed in March displays personal aspects: family roots, his passion for football (Bologna FC), early drawings and paintings, and intimate photographs of his Roman homes by Marisa Rastellini, Elio Sorci, Pietro Pascuttini, and Jerry Bauer. The exhibition runs until January 8, 2023.
