Writer Dacia Maraini has publicly opposed an order demanding the evacuation of the Gallinara tower, once the residence of filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. The Lazio regional government has issued a notice requiring the current occupant to vacate the property within thirty days. Maraini described the forced eviction as grotesque, arguing the site should remain preserved in connection to Pasolini’s legacy.
The tower holds historical significance as Pasolini’s first home. Local authorities have not provided public details regarding the specific legal grounds for the sudden eviction notice. Maraini’s statement highlights growing concern among cultural figures regarding the preservation of sites associated with the late director. #Pasolini #Gallinara #ArtPreservation #ItalyNews
