On the occasion of the 100^th anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s birth (Bologna, 3 March 1922 – Rome, 2 November 1975), a tribute with an exhibition displaying images of the film he considered "the most loved”.

Filmed from October to December 1965 (between Rome, Fiumicino, Viterbo, Tuscania, and Assisi), Uccellacci e uccellini (translated in English as The Hawks and the Sparrows) is the story of a father and his son roaming the suburbs of Rome accompanied by a talking crow –left-wing intellectual.
The film is “told in prose with poetic points, which is typical of fables” – as the author himself said. The protagonists are Totò – the greatest Italian comedian presented in a new and different role – and Ninetto Davoli – a ‘discover’ by Pasolini.
The entire processing of the film was documented by Divo Cavicchioli, set photographer who had already worked with Pasolini on the set of Mamma Roma. The photographs on display come from the Centro Cinema Città di Cesena archives. Some of them are well-known, as they accompanied and promoted the film since its release, but for the most part they are unpublished and printed for the first time, including those testifying to the episode in the circus, shot and later cut and not included in the released film.

Divo Cavicchioli (Cecina, 1924 – Cartagena, 1996) was an important set photographer of Italian cinema. From the 1950s to the mid-1970s he worked with –among others– Pietro Germi, Giuliano Montaldo, Ettore Scola, Marco Ferreri, and Gillo Pontecorvo. Many genre films are also part of his long filmography, like comedies and Spaghetti westerns –from Quién sabe? (A Bullet for the General) by Damiano Damiani to Tepepa by Giulio Petroni–, sets he particularly loved. His archive is part of the Centro Cinema Città di Cesena’s collections.
