Abstract
An object of Pasolini’s interest was not only Rome or Friuli, the connection with which can be explained by his biography, but also remote regions of the south of the country. The latter in the 1950s–1960s were under scrutiny not only of the institutional anthropologists, religious scholars and folklorists, but also of the general public of intellectuals. A surge of such interest arose due in large part to the work of the religious historian Ernesto De Martino, who wrote several monographs focused on Lucania, Sicily, and the Salentine Peninsula. The paper focuses on the work of Pasolini in the field of documentary filmmaking on the Salentine Peninsula in 1955–1974 in the context of the theoretical ideas of that time, as well as on the influence that such an experience had on Pasolini’s further cinema works.
