Armando Trovajoli (also Trovaioli, 2 September 1917 in Rome – 28 February 2013 in Rome). In the 1950s, Trovajoli began working in the Italian film industry, creating scores for movies such as "Big Deal on Madonna Street" and "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." He went on to work on over 300 films, collaborating with some of Italy's most prominent directors, including Federico Fellini and Vittorio De Sica. He experimented with various musical styles, from jazz to classical to popular music, and incorporated elements of each into his scores. His use of the accordion and other traditional Italian instruments gave his music a distinctly Italian flavour. His most famous song, "Roma nun fa' la stupida stasera", (included in this compilation), gave him the keys to access the Olympus of the great composers of all times. Trovajoli continued to compose music well into his later years and received numerous awards and honours throughout his career. He passed away in 2013 at 95, leaving behind a legacy as one of Italy's most beloved and influential composers.
