Literature and remembrance around Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini’s birthplace in Casarsa is now home to the Centro Studi pasoliniani. Casa Colussi is the home of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s maternal family. Many visitors to Casarsa’s cemetery come to pay their respects at Pasolini’s grave. The range of Pasolini-related sites therefore extends from the study center and family history to remembrance at his grave. These connections encompass institutional, family, and commemorative aspects.

Church art and architectural history

The old parish church of Santa Croce on Via XI Febbraio dates from the 15th century. The Chiesa di Santa Croce contains a votive plaque commemorating the Turkish invasion of 1499; this event inspired Pasolini’s Friulian drama I Turcs tal Friúl. The church also features surviving frescoes by Pomponio Amalteo. The present-day Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista was completed in 1908 in the neo-Gothic style. In terms of chronology, Santa Croce, dating from the 15th century, and the neo-Gothic cathedral, completed in 1908, represent different phases of construction.

Versuta: frescoes and a fountain

The hamlet of Versuta also offers its own cultural and historical points of interest. The church there has a late-Gothic fresco cycle inside. In the village center, next to the church, stands a fountain with two water outlets, restored by Paolo De Rocco. Today it is considered a symbol of Pasolini’s poetry. Thus, in Versuta, sacred murals and a fountain with literary symbolism offer distinct themes side by side.
