As part of the initiatives organised for the centenary of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s birth, the Italian Cultural Institute of Rio De Janeiro is dedicating the second episode of its podcast Brasitàlia to the perception of the poet’s figure in Brazil, from the 1960s to the present day, and to the reconstruction of his brief passage through the country in 1970, which has remained largely mysterious and is still a source of inspiration for filmmakers and researchers.

The programme, mediated in this episode by Professor Carlos da Silva Sobral (UFRJ – Doctor of Italian Language and Literature with a thesis on Pasolini‘s Decameron entitled: Decameron: signs and filmic reflection), will see the extraordinary participation of the writer, poet and essayist Dacia Maraini (broadcasting from Italy) and four guests who will explore the different areas of Pasolini‘s activity which, as we know, revolve around literature, cinema and non-fiction.

Speakers include Mariarosaria Fabris, a former professor at the Universidade de São Paulo and author of texts published in books and specialised magazines in Brazil and abroad, Maria Rita Nepomuceno, filmmaker and director of the documentary ‘Diário da Pandemia’ made entirely with mobile phones by the inhabitants of the Rocinha favela in Rio de Janeiro, Bruno Stroppiana, an Italian producer with roots in Brazil and Leonardo Vianna, a doctoral student in the postgraduate programme in Neo-Latin Humanities/UFRJ.

The episode is realised with the collaboration of CEPELL (Centre for Reading and Books of the Italian Ministry of Culture) and will be broadcasted in Italian on 26 April at 19h (Brasilia time) on the Youtube channel of the Italian Institute of Culture of Rio de Janeiro.
