Prophets of the Twentieth Century - Turoldo and Pasolini
Turoldo and Pasolini: two voices, one land, a shared vision.

This documentary illuminates the intertwined lives of Aldo Turoldo and Pier Paolo Pasolini, tracing the threads that connect two extraordinary figures of twentieth-century Italy. Anchored in the landscapes of Friuli—Coderno, Casarsa, and the River Tagliamento—the film situates their childhood and youth within the shadow of Fascism, war, and the Resistance. Through intimate storytelling and evocative visuals, it portrays not only their intellectual and artistic journeys but also the vibrant culture, traditions, and diversity of Friuli—the fertile ground from which both men emerged.

Though their worlds were different, Turoldo and Pasolini spoke the same language, revealing a profound brotherhood and a shared vision rooted in their homeland.
