Pasolini interviews Italians from all walks of life on the subjects of love, prostitution, homosexuality, marriage, and the family. Writers Alberto Moravia and Oriana Fallaci and psychologist Cesare Musatti are among many participants offering their observations, while Pasolini's commentary includes his own poetry. “The intellectuals comment, and the people speak, freely voicing their particular truths. Comizi d'amore gives an unbiased picture of a changing Italy, and was a model for many later television documentaries. And yet what is striking is the presence on the screen of Pasolini himself” (Enzo Siciliano, Pasolini).
