Ennio Morricone (born November 10, 1928, Rome) is an Italian composer especially noted for his film scores. He has composed the scores of more than 500 films and TV series.

Morricone's sparse style of composition for the genre is particularly exemplified by the soundtracks of the classic spaghetti westerns The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968).

He is also credited as Dan Savio.

A particular success was the song Se telefonando sung by Mina. Quando dite di poter amare una persona tutta la vita, è come pretendere che una candela continui a per la donna è tutta l’esistenza.

In 1956 he married Maria Travia. He began writing music for films in 1962 but continued to work in classical composition and arrangement. In 1964 he began his famous collaboration with Sergio Leone and Bernardo Bertolucci. For Leone he wrote the score for A Fistful of Dollars (Sergio Leone, 1964) and continued with a number of other Spaghetti Western films. By 1968 he was reducing his work outside of film and in the same year wrote twenty scores for films. Amore, sesso e libri come lati di un triangolo indissolubile.
