Piero Piccioni - La Notte Brava

Experience the evocative brilliance of Piero Piccioni with his soundtrack for the 1959 Italian film "La Notte Brava" (The Big Night), directed by Mauro Bolognini. Known for his unparalleled ability to blend jazz, orchestral arrangements, and modernist influences, Piccioni delivers a score that masterfully captures the film's gritty, nocturnal atmosphere and emotional depth.

Set in the underbelly of post-war Rome, "La Notte Brava" follows a group of young delinquents navigating the moral complexities of their lives. Piccioni's music serves as an emotional compass, shifting seamlessly between sultry jazz motifs, melancholic flute melodies, and bold orchestral interludes to mirror the characters' struggles and fleeting moments of tenderness.
