Sometime during the night of 1 to 2 November 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini was killed. 40 years have passed. The Carthusian remember what these verses of The beautiful flags , translated by Guillermo Fernandez, also died of brutal way, in 2012. “I chose my solitude / by a monstrous process / that could perhaps reveal / single dreamed a dream within a dream … // meantime, I’m alone, / I lost in the past. ” It is a desperate poem, it speaks of poverty, childhood fears, mother, old age, death, loves “pure sensuality”, those loves a while so blessed by lone of all places and all time.
beaten to death on the beach in Ostia, near Rome. The reasons for doing so and confessed murderer, 30 years later are still unknown, he denied being the murderer. The mystery remains and may never be resolved. Pasolini, poet, writer, scholar, literary critic, political analyst, filmmaker, was an uncomfortable but also for the right to the left of an Italy torn by social conflict character, corruption, political scandals and mob violence, as happens Mexico today-in, so it has always been considered the possibility of his death as a political crime.

The legacy of Pasolini is in his books Some of them irritating, but also in movies like Accattone , The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Theorem, The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, The Arabian Nights and Salo or the 120 Days Sodom , the last of an exceptional work, premiered on January 10, 1976.
In an interview with French radio, performed 48 hours before his death and that Fernando Zamora He has translated a piece for the supplement Labyrinth , the caller asks about this film: “When it is released Salo , do you think will shock?”. “Scandalize is a right and a pleasure to be shocked. Whoever refuses to be offended is a moralist,” says the filmmaker. The dialogue continues in this way: “Why filmed Salo in the secret?”. “It works well in mystery. In addition there was immediate danger”. “What do you mean?”. “At some moralist who rejects the pleasure of being shocked.”
Would a moralist the author of his death? Maybe not, but certainly moral judgments against him and led to his work.
