    Italian film music isn’t what it used to, but Pericle Odierna is a new, interesting voice. This work, from 2014, is relatively obscure (I had to upload the cover image myself!), but combines post-minimalist romanticism with some period tropes. I also recommend PICCIRIDDA from 2020, which should be easier to come by online.

    Never heard of him before, will check some things out. Being born 1965 not exactly “fresh new” seen from our age 🙂

    True, but he was born right when the “classic” Italians were big.

    I’ve now reached Piero Piccioni (1921-2004) in my collection walkthrough, and I realize that several of the Piccioni scores I own could have fit perfectly in other threads. BORA BORA (1968) goes in the erotica thread. Both LE MONACHE DI SANT’ARCANGELO (1973) and STORIA DI UNA MONACA DI CLAUSURA (1973) are nunsploitation films and could thus have been put BOTH in the erotica thread AND in the religious thread. But I’m “spending them” in this thread, because we need more discussion on Italian film music. Or Piccioni, for that matter. He should probably get his own thread at some point.

    Of the three I mentioned, LE MONACHE DI SANT’ARCANGELO is my favourite; in fact it’s my favourite Piccioni score with those gobsmackingly beautiful madrigals:

    … nunsploitation films …

    Umm.. this is a thing?? As they say in Sweden: “Det finns mycket”.

    But the term itself creates some images in my head, so I think I get the idea. 😉

    It is, yes. An amusing sub genre.

    Sounds quite orthodox…

    It’s also a genre that isn’t quite dead yet. Paul Verhoeven’s BENEDETTA (2021) falls into this genre, and it was my favourite film that year. Anne Dudley’s score was also my favourite of the year! Nunsploitation for the win!
