Summary/Abstract: The article analyses a holiday reportage La lunga strada di sabbia [TheLong Road of Sand] by Pier Paolo Pasolini, which is a record ofa journey made by the Italian intellectual in 1959 along the coasts of Italian Penisula. The author seeks the answers to the following questions: How does Pasolini talk about his journey? Which elements of the journey and the world arethe most important to the writer? She concludes that Pasolini uses the strategy of holiday reportage to touch upon the essential themes of his later works – ordinary people, their living conditions, the pace of socio-economic changes. At the same time, Pasolini uses the literary genre of reportage to present a broader than usual affective spectrum.
