Angelo Francesco Lavagnino
Angelo Francesco Lavagnino (born February 22, 1909 in Genoa , Liguria , † August 21, 1987 in Gavi , Piedmont ) was an Italian film composer .
Life
After training in the classical subject at the Milan Conservatory and a diploma in violin and composition, Lavagnino initially worked on symphonies , masses, orchestral works and the Malafonte opera .
At the end of the 1940s he began working on documentaries and by integrating typical musical characteristics of the countries described into his musical concept, he created something new. With the work on Orson Welles ' Othello he achieved fame in the feature film beyond Italy; with work for Henry Hathaway , Robert Rossen and again Welles , he became a household name in Hollywood .
By the beginning of the 1970s Lavagnino had worked on 200 films; in doing so, he used the technical possibilities of his time to edit sounds and arrangements from an early age. With the emergence of a new compositional style such as that used by Ennio Morricone , Bruno Nicolai and others, Lavagnino ended his work for feature films.
Prices
He won the Nastro d'Argento for the best original music twice, for The Lost Continent ( Continente perduto , 1954) and The White Victory ( Vertigine Bianca , 1956).
