La ciudad de Dios es una antología de artículos y relatos que Pier Paolo Pasolini escribió en su mayoría en la década de los cincuenta, recién llegado de Friuli a una Roma aún extraña y ya desesperadamente querida, telón de fondo a la vez grotesco y poético de estas páginas publicadas por primera vez en España.
