The stories of the 3 main characters of the film "Paz!" take place in Bologna, that in the 70s, perhaps, was the most leftist city in Italy.
The three main characters (Penthotal, Zanardi and Fiabeschi) were created in 2 Andrea Pazienza's comic strips: Zanardi and Fiabeschi appeared in the Zanardi comic strip, while Penthotal had his own strip.
De Maria had declared that his intention was to show the situation of Bologna in the 70s through Pazienza's characters and stories and to make people think.
The soundtrack comprise original 70s punk and new wave tracks from the Italian scenes (groups like Skiantos and CCCP).
