Controversy
On 13 August 1962, a complaint was filed, claiming Mamma Roma was "offensive to good morals" and "contrary to the common sense of morality because of obscene content, contrary to public decency". The complaint was thrown out by a magistrate five days later.[2]
At the film's premiere in the Quattro Fontane Cinema in Rome on 22 September 1962, Pasolini was attacked by protesting fascists.[2]
