about

2022 marked the centenary of the birth of Pier Paolo Pasolini, the famous and unorthodox Italian filmmaker, writer and intellectual born in Bologna in 1922 and killed in Ostia (Rome) in 1975.

In August 2022 I was asked to create music for a project called La Strada Invisibile (the Invisible Road) by Patrizia Santangeli and Francesca De Spirito in collaboration with the Appia Antica Park in Rome. The project combined the history of the long Appian Road, built by the ancient Romans with the atmosphere of ”Mamma Roma” and ”Uccellacci and Uccellini”, the two films by Pasolini shot in the same park.

Behind-the-scenes photos and images from the films were selected. I composed one track per image inspired by the landscape which changed over the centuries. The sound of synthesizers helps design a new landscape that moves between the past and the present along the ancient road that crosses the park. Album art by Chiara Lamacchia.

The songs in this tape were performed live in Rome on 14 October 2022 with the actress Stefania Bogo and have been featured in a podcast series as part of the same project.
