Set in the Nazi-controlled, northern Italian state of Salo in 1944, four dignitaries round up sixteen perfect specimens of youth and take them together with guards, servants and studs to a palace near Marzabotto. In addition, there are four middle-aged women: three of whom recount arousing stories whilst the fourth accompanies on the piano. The story is largely taken up with their recounting the stories of Dante and De Sade: the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Shit and the Circle of Blood. Following this, the youths are executed whilst each libertine takes his turn as voyeur.

Movie Trivia:
- The "excrement" in the coprophagia scenes was a mixture of chocolate and orange marmalade.
-
The August 1998 Criterion was removed from the market due to copyright problems. So, this version of the DVD with the "white ring around the hub" can be easily sold for 600 or more US dollars in good condition. This makes it one of, if not the most, valuable DVD in the world. Bootlegs are extremely common due to its value. Research should be done before purchasing.
-
The Japanese Region 2 DVD released in 2002 contains several more production photos not seen in any extant version of the film. Among them, a girl strapped into an electric chair (presumably during the final scene) and the bodies of the victims arranged in two rows, some covered with sheets, in the courtyard.
-
When the movie premiered in West-Germany in February 1976 it was confiscated by the state attorney in order to ban it. The district-court of Stuttgart classified it as pornographic and violence-praising. A few days later though the movie was permitted for entire West-Germany.
-
Salò, in the title, refers to the town in Lake Garda where the film is set. Italians think of Salò as a reminder of the horrors of Benito Mussolini and his regime.
