With Pasolini: ordine eseguito (Ponte alle Grazie 2025), published half a century after the great intellectual’s murder, Simona Zecchi returns to the crime scene to complete an investigation that has occupied her for years. Thanks to new testimonies and unpublished documents, the author meticulously and tenaciously reconstructs the complex web of the crime, tackling every issue with the expertise of someone who has dedicated much of her career to the search for truth. Zecchi follows the leads with the rigor of investigative journalism and the conviction that, while the judicial truth may be buried, the historical truth and the thirst for justice remain more alive than ever.
In the book, no element of the night of November 2, 1975, is overlooked. Direct testimonies and new findings lead to surprising revelations, while the historical and political context in which the assassination matured is carefully investigated, giving the reader the murky and uneasy atmosphere of Italy in the Seventies. The author meticulously recomposes a mosaic that extends far beyond the beach of Ostia, touching on the themes of massacres, neo-fascist infiltration, and the complicity that marked that dark period.
With a narrative that combines the accuracy of an investigation and the power of storytelling, Pasolini: ordine eseguito accompanies the reader on a journey through time and Italian judicial history, challenging official versions and bringing to light elements that change the perspective on one of the most painful and unresolved mysteries of our country.
