Hi Antonio,

You can specify any rotation angles you like. The easiest is to rotate 
around the origin, so in the example I've defined 4 spheres 1 unit away from 
the origin in the +z direction. Then rotating around the +y axis gives what 
you've asked for.
You could also do a #while loop and if you want random rotations you can use 
the seed() and rand() functions.

camera {location <0,2,0.1> look_at <0,0,0>}
sphere {<0,0,1>, 0.01 rotate 267*y pigment{rgb <1,0,0>} finish {ambient 1}}
sphere {<0,0,1>, 0.01 rotate 270*y pigment{rgb <1,0,1>} finish {ambient 1}}
sphere {<0,0,1>, 0.01 rotate 271*y pigment{rgb <1,1,0>} finish {ambient 1}}
sphere {<0,0,1>, 0.01 rotate 320*y pigment{rgb <0,0,1>} finish {ambient 1}}

Regards,
Chris B.
