Senate Conference on Pasolini Draws Big Crowd as La Russa Says His Legacy Belongs to All

A right‑aligned foundation marked the 50th anniversary with a Senate conference relocated to a larger hall after high demand.

Overview

  • The Fondazione Alleanza Nazionale held a conference titled 'Pasolini conservatore' in the Italian Senate to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini's death.
  • Ignazio La Russa called Pasolini a great intellectual who cannot be boxed into a political scheme and said his memory should be shared by all.
  • High interest prompted organizers to move the event to a Senate hall roughly three times larger after excess reservations.
  • Left-leaning critics accused the center-right of attempting to appropriate Pasolini’s legacy, according to the coverage.
  • Opening remarks came from La Russa, Federico Mollicone, Francesco Giubilei and Antonio Giordano, and subsequent interventions emphasized cross‑ideological readings of Pasolini’s work.
