Answer #1

No, it is based on a book by the Marquis de Sade. The setting for the movie was changed from 18th century france to 20th century Italy during Mussolini’s regime.

Answer #2

Pasolini, the movie’s director, lived in the Republic of Salo and claims to have seen some pretty bad stuff. As jimahl said, he took the fictional plot from the Marquis de Sade’s book, 120 Days of Sodom, for his movie. The original book, by Sade, is also much more graphic and vile than the movie. It’s proof that the most twisted pornography was not born in the Internet Age.
