  This is a multiband photometric and spectroscopic study of the peculiar S0
galaxy NGC128. We present results from broad (B and R) and narrow band optical
CCD photometry, near (NIR) and far (FIR) infrared observations, long slit
spectroscopy, and Fabry-Perot interferometry (CIGALE). The peculiar peanut
shape morphology of the galaxy is observed both at optical and near-infrared
wavelengths. The stellar disk is thick and distorted (arc-bended), with a color
asymmetry along the major axis due to the presence of a large amount of dust,
estimated through NIR and FIR data of ~6x10^6 M_sun, in the region of
interaction with the companion galaxy NGC127. The color maps are nearly uniform
over the whole galaxy, but for the major axis asymmetry, and a small gradient
toward the center indicating the presence of a redder disk-like component. The
H_alpha image indeed reveals the existence of a tilted gaseous ``disk'' around
the center, oriented with the major axis toward the companion galaxy NGC127.
Long slit and CIGALE data confirm the presence of gas in a disk-like component
counter-rotating and inclined approximately of 50 deg. to the line of sight.
The mass of the gas disk in the inner region is ~2.7x10^4 M_sun. The stellar
velocity field is cylindrical up to the last measured points of the derived
rotation curves, while the velocity dispersion profiles are typical for an S0
galaxy, but for an extended constant behaviour along the minor axis.
