“Cannibal Holocaust” was not the only one that wreaked havoc on its director, “Saló or the 120 days of Sodom” It is one of the most acclaimed works of pier Paul Pasolini, but it also marked a dark moment for him and, for many, it was also positioned as the reason behind his violent death. The filmmaker, a native of Bologna, died in Ostia, Italy, at the age of 53.
Pasolini was an icon in life, a movie legend and a myth for world history. He was what thousands would regard as an intellectual ahead of his time. However, his political vision and his openly homosexual declaration cast a warning light on him for the interests of others.
Thus, shortly after launching “Saló or the 120 days of Sodom”, was viciously murdered on a cold Italian night. The details of the crime committed against him are perhaps as bitter and lurid as the tape that immortalized him.
What happened to Pier Paolo Pasolini?

The filmmaker was driving his Alfa Romero. According to the newspaper El Mundo, Pelosi and Pasolini were in the car, but the latter would have suggested having a sexual act that his companion refused to do.
This caused the brawl and motivated the boy to savagely beat the filmmaker, before taking the car and fleeing at any cost, running over Pier on the way. At least that was what he initially said when he was arrested hours later.
A new version of the facts
According to The Guardian, Paolo Pasolini He was found bloodied, beaten and run over.
The young man, a minor at the time, was found to be solely responsible for the murder, despite the fact that suspicions that he had not acted alone remained in limbo. Even so —according to El Mundo—, he was sentenced to nine years and seven months in prison.
However, by 2005, the subject changed his version. The Guardian comments that Pelosi revealed that Pasolini he was intercepted, when he was with him, by two brothers and another man, who ended Pasolini’s life with blows.

Likewise, he announced that he had not said anything before because he had been threatened with death if he offered the details of the event.
