1 June 2010 the Italian weekly Oggi published an article which provides evidence of the fallacy official version of the murder Pier Paolo Pasolini. The material contains no sensational details, but it demonstrates the overall growth of interest in the events that took place on the beach at Ostia, 35 years ago.

A little biography

The future director, writer and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini was born March 5, 1922 in Bologna. His father, Carlo Alberto was a soldier who has become famous among other things, the fact that at one time saved the life of Benito Mussolini. When Pier Paolo was still a kid, his father was imprisoned for debt (later went out to freedom, he took to drink).

From an early age Pier Paolo interest in poetry and literature - read Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Rimbaud. The first poems he began writing when he was seven years old, first poetry collection published in 1919, but only during the lifetime of Pasolini was published seven books of poetry, most recently in 1975, a year after his death.

In 40-ies of XX century Pasolini, as a fascist by conviction, visited Germany. After this trip, he abruptly changed his ideology, becoming an ardent communist. In the late 40's he even joined the party, but already in 1949, he was thrown out with the phrase "for homosexuality and corruption of minors." That did not stop until the end of Pier Paolo life to call himself a Catholic Communist (adding, however, that both Catholics and orthodox Communists do not recognize many of his views) and support the various left-wing radical movements around the world (for example, notorious American "Black Panther") .

Pasolini to fame with the publication of the poetry collection "The Best Years of my youth" (La meglio gioventu) in 1954 and his first novel "bum" (Ragazzi di Vita) in 1955, tells about the life of boy prostitutes in the poorest areas of Rome. The novel caused a big scandal, and Pasolini for many years to become a favorite target of the tabloids. Finally, in 1961, Pasolini, already a famous writer, made a successful debut as a director (before that he had ever just write scripts, such as Fellini).

All these years Pasolini remained politically active - his views on certain topical issues he formulated in public speeches and essays, the most famous of which was a series of articles written for the newspaper Il Corriere della Sera.

The body of Pier Paolo Pasolini on the spot. Photos from the archive (c) AFP
Morning, November 2, 1975 on the beach in Ostia, near Rome, was found mutilated body of Pasolini. An autopsy showed that he had multiple fractures and internal injuries. It was also reported that after the death of Pasolini's body several times moved the car (as it turned out later, his own).

From the beginning, suspicion fell on neo-fascists. The fact is that at that time was preparing to leave the last film Pasolini, Salo or 120 Days of Sodom, "based on" 120 Days of Sodom Marquis de Sade. In this tape the action takes place in 1944, and all supporters of Mussolini presented sodomite. In connection with the latter circumstance extremists have repeatedly threatened to Pasolini.

However, very soon on suspicion of murdering police arrested Pino Pelosi - 17-year-old young man in prostitution. Pelosi admitted that the murder of Pasolini - this is his doing, and told that the director brought the young man on the beach to have sex, but it was rough, and Pelosi, defending himself, accidentally killed a 53-year old director.

The trial of a young man ended quickly. In the first indictment in 1977, said that Pelosi probably acted with accomplices, who found and failed. This verdict did not suit protection, as the defendant threatened to long prison terms, so it was appealed. The final decision in 1979 said that Pino Pelosi committed the murder alone in the heat of passion, so he was sentenced to nine-plus years in prison.

The decision almost immediately after the announcement has given rise to numerous rumors, because during his lifetime Pier Paolo Pasolini prevented almost everyone. And the ground for this talk has given itself a process in which there were many dark episodes.

For example, a court has been almost entirely ignored by the Pathologists concluded that the injuries suffered Pasolini could not have been inflicted by one person. Another fact on which the court closed his eyes: in the car producer had found things that do not belong to the victim nor the alleged murderer. These things, however, not only did not appear at the trial, but generally were not admitted into evidence. And most importantly, on clothing Pelosi had no traces of blood Pasolini.

New facts

Published weekly Oggi facts relate to just that, as at one time silent court. The fact is that in 1976 police arrested two brothers - Giuseppe and Franco Borsellino, who were 13 and 15 years respectively. Their capture was the result of the Carabinieri Renzo Sansone, who was introduced in youth gangs, under cover. According to the report, Sansone, the brothers themselves have admitted to him that, along with Pelosi (nicknamed "Frog") participated in the murder of Pasolini. Moreover, they reported that together with them in this part fourth teenager - a Johnny-blonde.

The court, however, Borsellino retracted their statements, saying that simply mocked Sansone, who from the beginning suspected that he was working for the police. Then the court found reasonable version of the brothers, but the published Oggi police reports show that this decision could prove to be premature. The fact is that in addition to the story of the murder of Borsellino shared with the police located a cache of loot (the brothers belonged to a gang which traded in theft from cars). As rightly considers himself Sansone, young criminals would not be frank with him, if the suspect that he was working for the police.

The political

 Of course, new facts in the long run can not be named, even essential, since it is only one episode of this tangled affair. However, the appearance of such an article is the result of growing interest in the cause of Pasolini in recent years.

It all began in 2005. Then, quite unexpectedly to all, Pelosi announced that renounces his confession. He told me that it was used as bait, three men. They forced Pelosi to bring Pasolini to the beach. There, they tied a young man, dragged Pasolini out of the car and began beating him, calling a communist. Then they threatened to Pelosi that they would kill his family if he did not confess to the murder, and that fear has forced him to remain silent all these years.

Story Pelosi served as an indirect confirmation of the original version that the director was killed by neo-fascists. However, currently the most popular purchased another, the third version.

The fact is that shortly before his death Pasolini began work on a new novel, which was dedicated to the mysterious death of head of oil and gas company Eni Enrico Mattei. Mattei was killed Oct. 27, 1962 as a result of the crash. In 1995, the body of the businessman and his driver were exhumed and examined with the latest technology. The result revealed that shortly before the fall on the plane exploded, although the official version of the crash was caused by bad weather.

It was then that the idea that the death Mattei was a political assassination, ordered from overseas by American companies - the head of Eni differ astonishing intransigence. In favor of a possible link Pasolini murder and work on the book says, and another fact. Famous Italian journalist Mauro De Mauro, who investigated the death of Mattei, disappeared in 1970, helping the director Francesco Rosi to write a movie script about a businessman. Rosie, in turn, was a friend of Pasolini, and could give him information regarding the loud murder.

The new investigation

In 2007, a group of Italian intellectuals appealed to the mayor of Rome with a request to reopen the investigation into the death of Pasolini. Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni supported this initiative. According to Oggi, an investigation was reopened about a year ago, and it is moving quite actively. The main version is exactly the assassination of the director.

Investigators said they plan to not only re-raise the case materials, but also to analyze the evidence, using the latest technology. It is hoped that the new investigation will be more convincing and this mysterious and tangled history finally gets a worthy conclusion 35 years later.

The case of the death of Enrico Mattei Filed

04/12/2005 17:14
ROME, April 12 - RIA Novosti, Nikolai Miroshnik. The case of the death of President of Italian oil and gas group Eni Enrico Mattei, finally surrendered to the archive. As reported Tuesday agency ANSA, the judge of Pavia Fabio Lambertuccio approved the request of prosecutors to surrender to archive the case of the death of 27 October 1962 the president of state oil and gas group Eni Enrico Mattei.

In 1994, the deputy prosecutor of Pavia Vincenzo Potassium reopened, it would seem, gone forever "in the sand" thing Mattei. It seemed to the prosecutor, it is time to open the whole truth, objectively examining all, including the newly discovered evidence.

Indeed, at this time, the prosecutor's office has determined that Mattei was killed yet in a suicide attack. But she was never able to find the organizers and collect all the necessary evidence. Also in 2001, died Sicilian peasant Mario Ronchi, whom prosecutors accused of complicity in the crime and believed the key prosecution witness - the only one to witness. Well, those who had to kill a Mattei, continue to store their files for seven seals.

October 27, 1962 a small private plane U.S. Presidents ENI rose from the airport in Sicily and headed for Milan. However, about midway plane, driven by one of the best military pilots in Italy, associate Mattei on guerrilla warfare in World War II Irnerio Bertuzzi, collapsed to the ground and burned.

The official version of deficiencies in the engine from the outset not believe no one but an Italian prosecutor. Too many have Mattei had serious enemies. Chief among them - "seven sisters" cartel of Western, especially American oil giants, holding in his hands when virtually the entire world trade in liquid fuels, as well as the Mafia, which he had come to serious commercial interests. And all too obvious place to crash the plane, and the first witness from the ground talking about the explosion in the air.

Italy Enrico Mattei, a living legend. The son of a policeman, jumped-to thirty years in the big businessman, a man of right-wing views, but a sincere patriot, who grew up in a guerrilla commander in the struggle against Nazi occupiers, Mattei set a fantastic goal - to create in the impoverished after World War II Italy, a powerful state oil and gas concern, which would not only liberated the country from the dictatorship of the "seven sisters", but would be their competitor on the international market.

In the Matthaei methods did not hesitate, subsidizing, and the right of Italian politicians and the press - as a rule, and left. He seriously and persistently worked through the idea of marrying the Shah of Iran on the Italian princess - only to Italy gained access to Iranian oil. He tried to be friends with Middle Eastern monarchs and their opposition. He took his first steps in the development of energy cooperation with the Soviet Union, cooperation, which successfully continues now between Russia and Italy.

The life and death Mattei written books and make movies. Someone is sure that his "remove" the CIA, someone nods to the mafia, someone claims that they acted together. Documented yet know the truth, no one has. In any case, the Italian justice of this idea was finally abandoned.

Actor wide range, it can easily go from drama to comedy, from musicals to a thriller. Despite its popularity, it has never been a star status. He never appeared in teletusovkah and gossip, practically does not give interviews. "I love the secret mystery to me inherent in doubt. I do not understand those who embarks on a revelation, exposing the soul" - once admitted Piccoli. "It is a mystery that I did not manage to solve" - says his former wife - a famous singer Juliette Greco, who lived with him for about ten years.

Michel Piccoli was born in the family of the pianist and violinist. He made his debut in the play by Leonid Leonov's "Invasion", which in 1945 was in Paris. In 1955 he attracted attention in the film by Jean Renoir's "French Cancan" by Jean Gabenom. Wide recognition came to him relatively late - at age 38, after tapes of Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt." Piccoli extremely valued itself Luis Bunuel, with whom he starred in six ribbons, including a "modest charm of the bourgeoisie," "Morning Glory", "Diary of a chambermaid." Maitre admired actor generosity, his generosity, sincerity and sense of humor. Some of his best roles Piccoli played in films by Claude Saute: "Little things of life," "Max and tinsmiths," "Vincent, Francois, Paul and others," "Mado", where his partners were, in particular, Yves Montand, Gerard Depardieu and Romy Schneider.

Sometimes sarcastic and slightly cynical, Piccoli never sought to shock the audience.
