"Lettere Luterane" (Lutheran Letters) is a collection of little essays. The work was publushed after his death. But it is not completely posthumuous since he organized the content: by choosing, titleing and ordering the written pieces.
This collection is slightly different from "Scritti Corsari" because the scope. The sub-title is the first marker "Il progresso come falso progresso" (The progress is a false development, in truth). The second gauge is the explicit reference to Italo Calvino as he refused to culturally proceed against the so-called Christian Democrat hierarchs:
"Also your silence is Catholic, in response to many public letters of mine. Also the silence from leftish Catholic is Catholic (they should be as brave as crusaders or, better, Lutherans. Three centuries are left)".
There are 4 sections:
- I Giovani Infelici (The Sad Youngs): unpublished piece
- Gennariello (Little Gennar, to an ideal neapolitan child): 14 didactic writtens)
- Lettere Luterane (Lutheran Letters): 16 articles that Pier Paolo Pasolini published in 1 Italian newspapers ( Corriere della Sera) and 1 magazine (Il Mondo) during the last year of his life (1975) + intervention to Radical Party conference on Nov 4th, 1975
- Postilla in Versi (Final Comment as Poem): unpublished poetry
