Once, very long ago, as Nicola Piovani was leaving the premises of the Cuban film school, I approached him and said, "Mr. Piovani, I want to thank you". "For what?", he asked with a curious expression. "For 'La notte di San Lorenzo'", I answered. And today, again, I say: "Señor Piovani, gracias".
Un pezzo straordinario

What an amazing piece of music. One of the great soundtracks in the history of cinema, up there with Eisenstein, Glass and Morricone.
Grande maestro
