Stracci dies on the cross at the end of the movie. The director in ''La ricotta'' is played by Orson Welles. The other episodes were directed by Jean-Luc Godard, Ugo Gregoretti and Roberto Rossellini and were not affected by censorship. The title ''RoGoPaG'' is an abbreviation of the authors' last names: Rossellini, Godard, Pasolini, Gregoretti. | ||

It was the first time that a movie was accused not of "offense to the audience", but to the religion. In this way, I feel, the State substituted the Church in the defense of public morals. | '''The Incident:''' The movie was taken out of distribution and accused of "offense to the State religion."
