TownerFan 4,992 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Another sad day for Italian music (and for music lovers in general).Riz Ortolani passed away today. He was 87. He wrote scores for more than 100 films, including some great classics like Dino Risi's Il sorpasso and Franco Zeffirelli's Fratello sole, sorella luna. In 1964 he won the Grammy Award for the song "More", written for the film Mondo cane. The song was also nominated for an Academy Award the same year.Here's the news from local Italian newspapers:http://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/musica/2014/01/23/news/morto_riz_ortolani-76771932/?ref=HREC1-11RIP Maestro Ortolani.
