Pasolini was a gay, Catholic, Marxist who was committed to the preservation of Italian regional dialects. In our conversation, Gabriella provides critical context for understanding Pasolini in the cultural and political context of mid 20th-Century Italy. This bonus episode of the podcast dives deep into the relationship between regional dialects, culture, and language politics.
