To mark the 100th anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s birth (Bologna, 5 March 1922 – Rome, 2 November 1975), the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo di Roma, the Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica – Palazzo Barberini and the MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo will be celebrating this film director, writer and artist in their respective museums with a major, shared and coordinated exhibition entitled Pier Paolo Pasolini. Everything Is Sacred. The exhibition will run from October 2022 to March 2023.

The exhibition explores disciplines, media, original works and archive documents in three different directions which, while independent of one another, are designed for potential integration in an effort to stimulate a new debate on Pasolini’s output, on the cultural influence he wielded, and on the outlook of people observing it from the 21st century.



Project curated and coordinated by: Michele Di Monte, Giulia Ferracci, Hou Hanrou, Giuseppe Garrera, Flaminia Gennari Santori, Cesare Pietroiusti, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Clara Tosi Pamphili; with Olivier Saillard (for the “Costumes” section of the exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni)
