In 1971, he was in charge of the music for the film “Sacco and Vanzetti”, which depicts the “False charges of Sacco and Vanzetti”. The insertion song sung by Joan Baez became a huge hit worldwide.

Since then, he continued to carry out active creative activities, and the music of “The Mission” in 1986 and “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” in 1989 was very popular all over the world. These music are still played around the world.

The Academy Awards was nominated five times for “Days of Heaven”, “The Mission”, “The Untouchables”, “Bugsy”, “Malèna”, and in its achievements, he was honored with the 79th Academy Award in 2007. Then, in 2016, he won the 88th Academy Award for Best Composition for the music “The Hateful Eight”.
