About the artist
Armando Trovajoli
Armando Trovajoli may not be a household name to the masses, but in the world of film music, he is nothing short of a legend. The Italian composer and pianist has been making beautiful music for over six decades, effortlessly blending jazz, pop, and classical influences in his scores. Born in Rome in 1917, Trovajoli began his career as a jazz pianist before transitioning into film composing in the 1950s. His collaborations with iconic directors like Vittorio De Sica and Ettore Scola have earned him critical acclaim and a reputation as one of the most versatile composers in the industry. Trovajoli's music is a time capsule of Italian cinema, capturing the essence of post-war Europe with his lush orchestrations and catchy melodies. Tracks like "Che Vuole Questa Musica Stasera?" from the film "Ricomincio da Tre" showcase his talent for crafting upbeat, infectious tunes that stick in your head long after the credits roll. But don't let his playful melodies fool you - Trovajoli's compositions are deceptively complex, blending traditional Italian folk music with modern harmonies and rhythms. His ability to effortlessly shift between genres and styles is a testament to his musical prowess and innovation. In a world where film composers often go unnoticed, Armando Trovajoli stands out as a true virtuoso. His influence can be heard in the work of contemporary composers like Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, cementing his legacy as a giant in the world of film music. So next time you're watching an Italian classic, don't forget to pay homage to the maestro himself - Armando Trovajoli.
