The Loves of Salammbo (Italian: Salambò, French: Salammbô) is a 1960 historical drama directed by Sergio Grieco.

They decided that in order for the film to be screened publicly, the Committee recommended the removal of the scene in which Mathos, lying in bed, sensuously kisses Salammbò on her neck and her chest repeatedly.

The reason for the restriction, cited in the official documents, is that the scene is considered to be offensive to decency and morality.

The official document number is: N° 31319, it was signed on 30 Mar 1960 by Minister Umberto Tupini.

The Loves of Salammbo was released in Italy on 16 September 1960 with a 110-minute running time.
