PPP. Pasolini un segreto italiano
To tackle the murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini, which happened exactly 40 years ago, Lucarelli discards the standard definition of the murder as an "Italian mystery", stressing that it was a "secret" instead: that is, an unconfessed and unspeakable truth, like many others that have characterized the political life and criminal underworld of our country ever since that death in 1975, which robbed Italy not only of a great intellectual figure, Lucarelli claims, but also the transparency of its government operations, the foundations of democracy itself.
Carlo Lucarelli, winner of the 1996 Scerbanenco Award forVia delle Oche, is the inventor of the popular characters who appear in his books and on the small screen, the big screen and the radio. They include Inspector Coliandro, featured in the new series directed by the Manetti brothers and premiering at Courmayeur; Commissioner De Luca and Inspector Grazia Negro. A writer for film and comic strips, in 2012 Lucarelli made his directorial debut with L’isola dell’angelo caduto, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival. "Radio Bellablù", "Blu notte", "La tredicesima ora", and "Muse inquietanti" are the TV programs in which Lucarelli has addressed crime and Italian culture today with incomparable narrative skill.
