Stelvio Cipriani (born 20 August 1937 in Rome), is an Italian composer, mostly of motion picture soundtracks. Though not coming from a musical background, as a child Cipriani was fascinated by his church's organ. His priest gave him his first music lessons and encouraged Cipriani and his family. Cipriani passed his examinations and studied at Santa Cecilia Conservatory from the age of 14, then played on cruise ship bands, that enabled him to meet Dave Brubeck. In addition to the music composed by Stelvio Ciprian on this soundtrack, there is the Concerto in D minor for oboe and orchestra by Alessandro Marcello, directed by Giorgio Gaslini.
