Piero Piccioni
Piero Piccioni (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpjɛːro pitˈtʃoːni]; December 6, 1921 – July 23, 2004) was an Italian film score composer.
A pianist, organist, conductor, and composer, he was also the prolific author of more than 300 film soundtracks. He played for the first time on radio in 1938 with his "013" Big Band, to return on air only after the Allied liberation of Italy in 1944. "013" was the first Italian jazz band to be broadcast in Italy after the fall of Fascism.
His style has drawn comparisons to composers such as Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai.
