ANTE INFERNO:

Your Excellency

President

Your Grace

All things are good when

taken to excess

Come on, let's go

Where are you going?

Claudio! Your scarf, my son!

Sorry, we're obeying orders

Marrying each others' daughters will

seal our destinies for ever

President, take as your lawful spouse

His Excellency's daughter, Tatiana

President, I will marry

your daughter, Susy

Your Excellency and my brother the

Bishop will marry my daughters

The preparations for our

undertaking are completed

In puberty's ambush, maidens bloom,

all unaware of impending doom

They listen to the radio, drink tea,

unaware they will lose their liberty

Bourgeois recoil not from slaughter

though victim be son and daughter

-What's this one's name?

-Claudio Cicchetti

-What is your name?

-Franco

I knew you'd consider him

A girl helped us catch him

The fool thought he was in for

romance, and ended up in a sack

-What is your name?

-Sergio

Shouldn't we inspect them?

Trousers down, shirts up

That will do

Lamberto Gobbi

Carlo Porro

Umberto Chessari... just look

at him, gentlemen

I waited two whole weeks

to ambush him

...and this is Ferruccio Tonna,

from Castelfranco

From a subversive family

The one with the curly hair,

Tonino Orlando

I know him

I've waited two long years for him

Your Excellency, please help me

His father was a senior judge,

like myself

A southerner, aren't you?

Don't expect me to deflower you.

In time we will decide..

...who will do you that

delightful honour

That's right, Tonino

Eva, come along

Try to behave yourself

Come, no one will harm you

Show these nice gentlemen

all your hidden charms

What a beauty

A delicious bum, solid yet bouncy

Tits to revive a dying cripple

Bring us another one

Signora Castelli, your turn.

The gentlemen are waiting

Please let me go home

Albertina's father is a professor

in Bologna

To slip her out of the convent school

we had to convince two nuns

You'll prefer us to the sisters,

won't you?

I don't know yet, sir

Very well, undress her

Just a moment

We didn't notice her blemish.

She's a pretty virgin, too

Don't you disgrace me,

I know your little tricks

We waited until she came out

with her mother...

...pushed the mother into the river,

where the damned fool drowned...

...right before this angel's eyes

There were nine boys, now only eight

Anyone know the difference between

"8", "no-no", and the family?

What's the difference?

"8" is twice four,

"no-no" is twice not for

-What about the family?

-They're fine, thank you

Everything is prepared

according to your wishes

You herded, feeble creatures,

destined for our pleasure

Don't expect to find here the freedom

granted in the outside world

You are beyond reach of

any "legality"

No one knows you are here

As far as the world goes,

you are already dead

These are the laws which will

govern your lives

"At six p.m., the company will

assemble in the "Hall of Orgies"...

"... where our Storytellers...

"...will tell us stories, each with

a particular theme

"Our friends have the right

to interrupt at any moment

"The purpose of the stories is to

inflame lust; all will be permitted

"After dinner, the gentlemen will

conduct the so-called orgies

"The Great Hall will be

adequately heated

"Participants, appropriatedly

dressed...

"...will lie on the floor

like animals...

"...they will intermingle...

"...copulate indescriminately,

incestuously and sodomistically

"That will be the daily procedure"

No servants here!

"Any man caught in flagrante delicto

with a woman...

"...will be punished by

the loss of a limb

"The slightest religious act by

anyone will be punished...

"...by death"

CIRCLE OF MANIAS

I was born at a girls' boarding

school, where my mother was a servant

One day, my sister asked if

I knew Professor Gentile

"Well, look outside, he's waiting

for you...

"...to show you something

he's shown me"

She said:
"Don't run away

"He'll give you some money"

I ran out to meet him.

I couldn't believe it

-"Where are you going?"

-"To put away the chairs, Professor"

"Your sister will do that. I'll show

you something you've never seen"

I followed him into a room

He took his huge penis from out of

his trousers and began to masturbate

"Have you ever seen the like?

"I've shown your sister and

girls of your age

"Give me a hand. Provoke the semen

from which we're all created

"I'll make it spurt on your face

"This is my sole passion, my child...

"...and you are about to see it"

At that very moment...

...l was immersed in a white jet,

drenching me from head to toe

You mustn't omit any detail...

...otherwise your stories will not

arouse us sufficiently

I know I was urged to give

every detail...

...every particular,

even the slightest...

...that may illuminate the

human passion

I've not overlooked anything

You haven't given us details about

the size of the Professor's penis...

...or the nature, the consistency

of his emisssion

Did you fondle his genitals,

did he oblige you to do so?

Dear Signora Vaccari, more clarity

From now on I shall conceal nothing.

May I continue?

Time the staff of my old age

had some fun

Shortly after my seventh birthday...

...l took a girl friend to see

the Professor

One of his colleagues was with him.

They drew me inside

Looking at me, one said to the other:

"Goffredo, didn't I tell you

she was a little beauty?"

"She is a rare little jewel",

replied Goffredo

Then he took me onto his lap

and gave me a kiss

-"How old are you?"

-"Seven, Professor"

"You are fifty years younger than me"

Then he gave me another kiss

Meanwhile, the other prepared

some kind of strange syrup

They made me drink it, saying:

"It will make you pee"

"All we want of you, dear child,

is that you urinate

"And that you do that with me,

alone together"

I want this miserable boy

punished severely

We are at your service

He had the insolence to

pull away from me

You can choose one of ours

No, thank you

It would take too much to

satisfy me now

A moment ago, only the slightest

effort would suffice, but now...

You know to what we're driven

by frustrated desire

All I ask of you...

...is exemplary punishment

for this bastard

My Lord, I feel ready to satisfy you

I need no instruction

No, let me be

There are a thousand occasions when

one does not desire a woman's anus

I'll wait. Let Signora Vaccari

continue her story

Everything was so arranged that he

swallowed every drop of my piss

At that moment his penis,

overcome by victory...

...cried tears of blood over me

Then, passion consumed, the Professor

seemed to realize...

...his idol no longer inspired

such religious fervour

Without ado, he put ten lire in my

apron pocket and pushed me out

Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italian: [ˈpjɛr ˈpaːolo pazoˈliːni]; 5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975) was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual. Pasolini also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, novelist, playwright, and political figure. He remains a controversial personality in Italy due to his blunt style and the focus of some of his works on taboo sexual matters, but he is an established major figure in European literature and cinematic arts. His murder prompted an outcry in Italy and its circumstances continue to be a matter of heated debate. more…
