Fifty years after Pier Paolo Pasolini's passing, the artist's original residence in Rome—where he lived with his mother from 1951 to 1954 and wrote "Ragazzi di Vita"—located at Via Giovanni Tagliere 3, has reopened and is being transformed into a cultural venue. It all began when film and television producer Pietro Valsecchi purchased the apartment at auction, after controversy arose over its sale following the bankruptcy of the property’s previous owners. The objective was to donate it in order to convert it into a publicly accessible space, and this was achieved: the transfer to the Ministry of Culture was formalized in July 2024, with the aim of opening its doors on the 50th anniversary of the artist's death this year. The space, which has been renovated to closely mimic its original appearance, will be accessible from Thursday to Sunday. Admission is free, and many activities will be available via livestream. For the inauguration, the photographic exhibition “Truth is not in one dream alone but in many dreams. Pasolini’s Houses in Rome” was presented, recounting through images Pasolini’s Roman journey between the center and the outskirts.
