It is based on that book, but set in the Republic of Salo, the fascist puppet state of Nazi Germany in northern Italy. Fascism, abuse of power, corruption and sadism are all themes of it. Pasolini himself was anti-fascist and communist.
It is very disturbing, but as a film portraying fascism, it has to be. Roland Barthes said: "In spite of all its objectionable elements (he pointed out that any film that renders Sade real and fascism unreal is doubly wrong), this film should be defended because it 'refuses to allow us to redeem ourselves.' It's certainly the film in which Pasolini's protest against the modern world finds its most extreme and anguished expression. Very hard to take, but in its own way an essential work."
I understand why you are hesitant to include it, and would accept its exclusion, but stand by including it.

No bother! Do you think we should CW any others? None of them get quite as bad as Salo, but some can be full-on.
