Between June and August 1959, the magazine Successo commissioned Pier Paolo Pasolini a tour of Italy, from North to South to the Islands, along the coast on board a Fiat 110. The reportage was published in 3 episodes and offers one of the rare instances of “Pasolinian happiness”.
The Lombardi – Tiezzi Company, formed by Sandro Lombardi and Federico Tiezzi, is one of the leading institutions of Italian and European theatre, thanks to their ability to combine experimentation with their work on the classics.
