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

The boy's hopeless at masturbation, he needs a lesson

You'd think he'd never seen a man's tool

Well, friends...

...Signora Vaccari will turn them into first-class whores

Nothing is more contagious than evil

You are mistaken, Your Excellency

Some can do evil only when passion drives them to it

They are always unhappy, regretting the evils of the previous night

Umberto, Franco... what do you say?

Handsome

Efisio, it's my turn

On the Peratibridge

A black flag flies

The mourning of the Julian regiment that goes to war

The best young men lie under the earth

The gentleman are not satisfied with you

The first thing you must learn is how to hold it

Go on

Up and down

Squeeze it harder...

...and stroke beneath with the other hand

Slut! See how it's done

There were nine girls, now only eight

Here's a number eight story

It's about a man who had a friend named Six-times-eight

Going home in the blackout one night they lost each other

Our man tried to find his friend, looking everywhere

At last he thought he saw something in the darkness

He was overjoyed, thinking he had found his friend

-He cried: "Six-times-eight!" -"Forty-eight", came the reply

Music! Signora Vaccari will tell us another story...

...to stimulate us for another skirmish

I was nine when my sister took me to Milan to meet Signora Calzetti

She examined me and asked if I wanted to work for her

I said I would, if the pay was good

My first client, a stout man named Vaccari, looked me over carefully

At once I showed him my pussy, which I thought was very special

He covered his eyes: "Out of the question

"I'm not interested in your vagina, cover it up"

He covered me up, making me lie down

He said: "All these little whores know is to flaunt their vaginas

"Now I'll have to recover from that disgusting sight"

He wrapped me in a sheet, like a mummy...

...leaving only my behind uncovered

He caressed it gently, opened and closed the cheeks...

...began to suck it greedlily

Then he carefully...

...put his member between my buttocks, his movements became frenzied

"Such an adorable behind, the sweet little anus. Now I'll anoint it"

He said that three or four times

I never saw him again

Your first client...

...had an idea of women that most of us do not share

Homage to the rear temple...

...is more fervent than the other

I put this question to the company

How can we determine the true inclination of a boy or girl?

Their best part, in other words

I believe by masturbation of the requisite body areas

Let's take the youngsters about whom we have doubts...

...and take them aside to verify

Observing, with equal passion and apathy, Guido and Vaccari...

...masturbating the two bodies which belong to us...

...inspires a number of interesting reflections

Would you care to elaborate, dear Duke?

We Fascists are the only true anarchists

Naturally...

...once we've become masters of the state, true anarchy is that of power

However, look at their obscene gestures...

...like deaf-mute language...

...with a code none of us can break, no matter how great our power

There is nothing to be done

We must restrict our impulses to a single gesture

He came. Now he is a man

Little Sergio, we're proud of you

-She's a woman now -Our first couple has been formed

Sergio, you've proved you're a man

She is your prize

Come forward

Appreciate the goodwill of these gentlemen...

...who allow you to enjoy such a great privilege...

...we will solemnize your marriage

What a fine thing

What a whore

Get out, you sluts!

Let us resume the ceremony

Will you, Sergio...

...take Renata for your wife?

I pronounce you man and wife

Clear off, all of you!

If you salute him, then you are bound

If you are for him, if you are sound

Then you must join up, honour bound

Lustily! Aren't you newlyweds?

Give rein to your feelings

Get busy, idiot

No! That flower is reserved for us

The principle of all greatness on earth...

...has long been bathed in blood

My friends, if memory does not betray me:

"Without bloodshed, there is no forgiveness

"No forgiveness without bloodshed". Baudelaire

Excellency, the expression is not to be found in Baudelaire...

...but in Nietzsche's The Genealogy of Morals

It is neither from Baudelaire nor Nietzsche...

...nor in Saint Paul's Epistle to the Romans

It's Dada

Sing me that sweet melody l loved so much, that goes da-da

Delicious creature, do you want my dirty underpants?

My old underpants. What incomparable refinement

You see how sensitive I am to the value of things

Little angel, my greatest desire is to grant your wish

You know I respect all tastes and whims

However baroque, all deserve to be respected

Because we're not their masters, even the most bizarre manias...

...derive from a basic principle of refinement

Yes, old buggers, it's a question of delicacy

One day Madam sent me to another libertine

He took me to a room with a splendid Chinese carpet

After making me undress, he ordered me on all fours, like an animal

Having stroked my head two or three times...

...he said: "I want to see if you're as quick as my dogs"

He threw two chestnuts across the room...

...saying: "Good bitch, fetch!"

I thought it best to go along with the game

You have two beautiful eyes... then look

Piss

"Filthy muck, putrid bitch", he shouted, approaching me

Then he ejaculated over my back

Then he left

I dressed...

...and discovered 25,000 lire in my coat

Eat!

Your Excellency, are you convinced?

It is when I see others degraded that I rejoice...

...knowing it is better to be me than the scum of "the people"

Whenever men are equal, without that difference, happiness cannot exist

So you wouldn't aid the humble, the unhappy

In all the world...

...no voluptuousness flatters the senses more than social privilege

My next story is about the mania of Minister Missiroli

I went to the Minister's office at ten one morning

The moment I entered, the doors closed

"What are you doing here, you little bitch?

"Who gave you permission to disturb me?"

I hadn't been warned of what would happen...

...so I was frightened by the welcome

I can't take any more

He tore off my clothes, shredded them...

...and threw them into the fire

Then he stretched out seemingly semi-conscious...

...in a chair...

...and ejaculated...

...making his sperm fall upon the charred remains of my clothes

CIRCLE OF SHIT

Don't you think, Signora Maggi...

...that before your stories, you should show us your best part?

With the greatest of pleasure

These buttocks merit our attention

I have seldom seen better

Very kind of you to say so

We thank you. Please begin

I see that you gentlemen esteem the rear end...

...so I shall devote my stories to this subject

My story will interest you all...

...especially our dear President; it concerns a particular mania...

...his dearest caprice, which enabled me to make his acquaintance

Conceal my turpitudes from these innocents

Enough. I am eager to hear Signora Maggi's voice

My childhood years were spent in endowing my body with the capacity...

...to satisfy the basest, most outrageous desires

I soon became expert in that difficult task...

...and my fame spread throughout ltaly

My clients included many celebrities...

...and to them I gave the best of myself

My first story concerns a most curious episode in my life

Signora Evola, the Madam I worked for...

...sent me to a client after feeding me a large laxative-spiced meal

The client was an old Carabinieri General

He made me undress him and put a nappy on him

I was used to such fixations, I was ready to help him

Suddenly, my bowels rebelled and he ordered me to relieve myself...

...which I did without embarrassment

He made me dip my fingers in the excrement...

...and feed it to him like a baby

He swallowed everything, imitating the cries of a baby...

...and ejaculated into his nappy

I knew a man capable of quite diverse refinements of the sort

We expect only the best tales of you

My next story took place in Verona

I was told that the client waiting at a hotel...

...was an old nobleman, notorious for his depravity

My curiosity was immense

That evening my mother was more intolerant than usual

She pleaded with me not to go

I couldn't resist the temptation, so I killed her

The only thing to do

The excitement awaiting you was supreme...

...meriting the utmost sacrifice

It's folly to say one owes anything to one's mother

Must we be grateful for her having pleasure with a man?

That should have been enough reward for her

Long ago, I was cursed with a mother...

...who aroused the same feelings you felt for yours

As soon as I could, I sent her to the next world

It was a profound pleasure when she closed her eyes for the last time

Why is that child crying?

Your words remind her of her mother

Her mother died trying to protect her

Splendid!

It's your mother you're crying for?

Come here, let me console you

Come back to Papa's arms

He'll sing you another lullaby

What an opportunity you offer me

Signora Maggi's story merits immediate re-enactment

I beg you to have mercy on my suffering

My mother died for me and I'll never see her again

Undress her immediately

Kill me! God will take pity on me! Don't dishonour me!

This howling is the most exciting thing I've ever heard

Kill me! Free me from this torment, seeing and hearing such horrors!

You all heard her call on God

Your Excellency, enter her name in the Penal Register...

...for a terrible punishment

Do away with me, so that I can be with my mother

You will be punished and deflowered when we decide the time is ripe

Don't think your tears restrain my desire; they make me more ruthless

Come here, my child, it's ready

On your knees!

Go on!

Eat it

That stupid girl's making a scene over such a delicacy

A friend insisted that all the excrement he ate every day...

...come from a beggar woman, so it would be more putrid and delicious

I found an old woman of seventy for him

Spoiled food can provoke excellent diarrhoea

The subject should eat hastily, at odd hours, to overload the stomach

We must try that at once

Dear President

I am eager to know how you first met Signora Maggi

She will tell you after His Honour has married his Sergio

Then you'll laugh at my expense

I won't deprive you of that pleasure

Today's story demands a revision of our rules

If we wish to enjoy the fruit...

...of our stay within these walls...

...let us revise some of our rules

For example, we put containers in the latrines to collect all excrement...

...so that nothing goes to waste

Let's follow Signora Maggi's example, giving our dear President...

...the joy of seeing his dream come true

Good day, Signora Castelli

I'm sorry, we'll be ready in a moment

I've come to make sure

The chamberpots, quick!

You know the rules!

Tell me your name!

I couldn't help it, with the muck we're given to eat

Your name?

It's Doris, the most undisciplined of our girls

She will be company for those already listed here

-Whose is this? -Mine. Help yourself

Is that how you obey our rules, impertinent brat?

Show me this boy's arse

You even dared to wipe yourself. You'll get what you deserve

We're ready...

...but preparing this one meant that I couldn't watch these rogues

There is no evasion

Unless the German people fall...

...we are prepared for any eventuality ...

...to save a human soul, even in this part of Africa

We are happy to carry out your every command

Those I considered the most capable...

...were fed appropriately

Thus as this solemn wedding feast we shall enjoy the greatest delicacy

Our girls abstained from relieving themselves all day...

...in compliance with your decree...

...that we produce this for you

Let the rite begin

Our guide restored the divine character of monstrosity...

...thanks to reiterated actions, that is to say: rites

No more intoxicating desire exists...

...endowing you with the vigour...

...to meet the challenge awaiting you

Eat, my exquisite bride

You must prepare for our night of love

Nothing's worse than a breath without odour

I can't do it

Offer it to the Madonna

Do this

Say: "I can't eat rice with my fingers like this"

Then eat shit

I refer, as you will have guessed...

...to our illustrious President

After having satisfied him...

...I was impressed by such special tastes in one so young

Tastes that will become clearer later

Liberated from my mother...

...I found life rich in all its delights

One day Madam presented me to the libertine in question

His passion will strike you as somewhat unusual

The scene took place in his house. I was shown into a darkened room

I saw a man lying on the bed...

...and a coffin in the middle of the room

"You see before you...", he said...

"...a man on his deathbed...

"...but he doesn't want to close his eyes...

"...without making a last homage to the object of his adoration

"I adore the behind

"Although I am dying, I wish to die kissing one

"When life has left my body...

"...place me in the coffin...

"...wrap me in my shroud and close the coffin lid

"I insist that you observe my orders to the letter

"In this supreme moment with the sole object of my lewd desire

"Come quickly!"

He went on, his voice broken, sobbing

"Hurry! I am at death's door"

So I went to him and showed him my backside

"Oh, what a marvellous arse

"Having seen this, my life can end. I've never seen one as alluring"

He fondled it, opened it

He played with it, kissed it, just as would the healthiest of men

He made me relieve myself of all that was in my bowels

I was not at all embarrassed

"Now it is the time for me to die. The supreme moment has come"

As he said that, he gave a profound sigh

Piss over me

I can't, it won't come

I've finished

The limitation of love is that you need an accomplice

Your friend will know the libertine's refinement...

...is being executioner and victim

My sister knew an official in the Controller's office

A little pig-like man, with a disgusting face

A chamberpot was arranged...

...for two to sit on, back to back, and relieve themselves simultaneously

He stirred it with his fingers, and swallowed it

My sister told me...

...he'd only to see her dirty arse and he ejaculated

Did your sister have a pretty backside?

You must judge by this. A famous painter...

...was commissioned to paint a Venus with a splendid backside

He selected her as his model after many weeks...

...looking at hundreds of behinds throughout ltaly

How old was she then?

Fifteen, Duke

Why don't you arrange a competition to find the nicest bottom here?

I'll do that. I'm an expert

Your Excellency, doesn't this situation suggest anything to you?

It might

-Aren't you ready? -Just a moment

The act of the sodomite signifies the death of the human species

Ambiguously accepting social standards while transgressing them

More monstrous than the act of the sodomite...

...is the act of the executioner

True, but the act of the sodomite can be repeated again and again

I think there is a way to repeat the act of the executioner

Turn off the lights

Here is my masterpiece

I have a proposal to make

We have not yet decided on the winner's prize...

...for the best bottom

Here is my proposal

He or she whose bottom is judged the best...

...will be killed immediately

Agreed

This way we'll be impartial, not knowing whose bottom we are viewing

-A shrewd observation -Thank you, Your Excellency

For if we knew we were looking at a boy rather than a girl...

...we might be influenced in making our decision

We must be completely free in our choice

A clever trap I wish to avoid

When one prefers men, it is difficult to change one's perspective

The difference between a boy and a girl is enormous

One cannot consider what is obviously inferior

But if we consider all the stories we have heard...

...in certain cases a girl might be preferable to a boy

Let us try to remain objective

Look at the elasticity of those buttocks

There can be no question here

Allow me, Duke

I don't wish to contradict, but may I re-examine a most impressive one?

We'll be delighted to grant your request

I don't think the heaviness of these buttocks...

...can be compared to the most beautiful we have here

However, I will yield to the opinion of the majority

I vote for the Duke's candidate

My vote goes to the Duke's candidate

Dear President, three votes to one

I bow to the majority

But I request that my candidate be reserved for me to deflower

Granted

We'll reveal this mystery

Fire!

You must be stupid to think that death would be so easy

Don't you know we intend to kill you a thousand times?

To the end of eternity, if eternity can have an end

Once I had a very mysterious client

His mania was closely related to...

...the subject of Signora Castelli's stories, for which I apologize

The man wanted only women...

...who had been condemned to death

The closer they were to death, the more he would pay

He would visit them when the sentence had been pronounced

Thanks to his exalted social status, enabling him to pay the price...

...not a single one escaped him

He did not possess them casually

He insisted on inspecting their rumps and that they defecated before him

He was convinced that the tastiest faeces...

...were those of women who had just heard the sentence of death

CIRCLE OF BLOOD

Your Reverence, I am ready

We want a marvellous wedding

The President wishes to be first, he is the most randy

You whoresons!

What is this, a mortuary?

These parasites do nothing for this festive day

Do anything you like. Laugh, all of you

Go on, idiots, show how happy you are

Go on, laugh

Why aren't you yelling forjoy? Go on, sing!

You two, what are you doing?

Excellency, note their names

If you like to whimper, we'll make you, for your last few days

Shouldn't you have paid your bills, Monsieur Royale?

Of course, Monsieur Juju

Shouldn't you also pay mine?

Why so?

Because two and two make four and I'm broke

Earn some money

-How do I do that? -Through manual labour

I don't know how

Then become an actor

That's difficult

Try to write then; all you have to write...

...is any old thing

Are you crazy?

I have a duty to perform; I'll return later

Your friend here is ready whenever you are

-Please, may I speak to you? -Of course, my dear

What will you do to me?

Talk about that tomorrow; many things will be decided then

I know a secret. Someone is violating your law

Graziella had a photograph under her pillow

Give me that photograph

Spare me and I'll tell you what Eva and Antoniska do

They're breaking your laws

Don't kill me. I have secrets to tell you

Speak, dirty whore!

Every night Ezio goes to the black servant girl

I can take you there

Queers!

You make me puke

Those who are named will wear a sky blue ribbon

You can imagine what that means

Others, if they collaborate, are reprieved. They will return to Salo

What are you going to do to us?

You'll soon know the gravity of your crimes

The main character...

...figured in a number of the previous stories

He is forty, very powerfully built...

...with a member like a stallion

He is enormously rich, very powerful, very cruel

A heart of stone

He owns a house near Milan, which he uses exclusively for his pleasure

At his parties, at least fifteen young girls are present...

...aged from fifteen to seventeen

Those who are chosen must present themsleves completely naked

He touches them, caresses them, examines them...

...then makes them defecate into his mouth, but he does not swallow it

After these first rituals, with fearsome gravity...

...he brands each girl on the shoulder...

...burning a number into their tender flesh

After these preliminaries, he opens the window...

...and places a girl standing in the middle of the room, facing the window

Then gives such a powerful kick to her behind...

...that the poor thing flies across the room...

...through the window and vanishes into a dark cellar

Our hero is familiar not only with Nietzsche, but Huysmans as well

In the cellar, a masked executioner with the devil's emblems...

...presides gravely over the horrible machines

When all the girls are in the cellar, our hero...

...is highly aroused, having so many contacts without once ejaculating

Naked, his huge member jutting from his belly

Now all the machines have begun to function...

...all tortures at once, with terrifyingly loud screeching

The first apparatus is a huge wheel with razor blades...

...to which is bound a girl to be flayed alive

Another has a live rat sewed inside her vagina

Oh Lord, why hast thou foresaken us?

A rationalperson...

...is not content to kill the same person

He would recommend murdering as many as possible

Umberto, come here

Bravo, always ready

What does a Bolshevik do when he dives into the Red Sea?

You don't know what a Bolshevik does?

No, tell me

He goes splash!

Poetry Corner. Ezra Pound. The Cantos

Canto 99

The whole tribe is from one man's body

What other way can you think of it?

The surname and the nine arts

The father's word is compassion

The son's, devotion

Small birds sing in chorus. Harmony is in the proportion of branches

The gay face of spring is set before the world

The sharpness of winter now flees defeated

In various apparel Flora reigns

And in the euphony of the woods...

...she is hymned in song

Can you dance?
