The volume runs to 526 annotated pages. It follows the young poet from 1940 until his move to Rome in the early 1950s. During these years Pasolini was a student in Bologna, edited a small journal, and wrote and taught in Friuli while composing his first poems in Friulian dialect. The letters show his literary and psychological development and include some of his earliest verse. Naldini's introduction quotes at length from the Quaderni rossi, Pasolini's early diaries. The most affecting letters are those to Silvana Mauri, who was in love with him, and those written after his brother Guido's death. Throughout, Pasolini comments sharply and ironically on the sexual and political morality of Italy at the time. || Motion picture producers and directors -- Italy -- Correspondence.
