Editing Pier Paolo Pasolini (section)

=== Rome ===
In January 1950, Pasolini moved to Rome with his mother Susanna to start a new life. He was acquitted of two indecency charges in 1950 and 1952.<ref name="Martelini, L. 2006, p. 48"/> After one year sheltered in a maternal uncle's flat next to [[Fontana delle Tartarughe|Piazza Mattei]], Pasolini and his 59-year-old mother moved to a run-down suburb called [[Rebibbia]], next to a prison, living there for three years; he transferred his Friulan countryside inspiration to this Roman suburb, one of the infamous ''borgate'' where poor [[proletarian]] immigrants lived, often in horrendous sanitary and social conditions. Instead of asking for help from other writers, Pasolini preferred to go his own way.

Pasolini found a job working in the [[Cinecittà]] film studios and sold his books in the ''bancarelle'' ('sidewalk shops') of Rome. In 1951, with the help of the [[Abruzzo|Abruzzese]]-language poet Vittorio Clemente, he found a job as a secondary school teacher in [[Ciampino]], just outside the capital. He had a long commute involving two train changes and earned a meagre salary of 27,000 [[Lira|lire]].
