Let’s face it: Ennio didn’t have a outstanding humorousness, and I become scary him. But ultimately he wrote the precise music for ‘U Turn’, the only I wanted. And it’s a fave of my movies. He knew the way to serve the administrators, even if they have been pissing him off. It become the peak of professionalism”. A hard person, a real genius whose absence, after three years, remains crammed with the aid of his song, done in concert events or heard within the many films for which he edited the soundtrack.
