Piero Piccioni - Il Diavolo

Piero Piccioni’s "La Parmigiana", is a dynamic soundtrack composed for Antonio Pietrangeli’s 1963 satirical drama. Known for his ability to blend jazz, bossa nova, and orchestral arrangements, Piccioni crafts a score that perfectly complements the film’s exploration of love, societal expectations, and personal freedom.

The movie "La Parmigiana" (The Girl from Parma) follows the journey of a young woman navigating the complexities of love and morality in 1960s Italy. Piccioni’s compositions are as multifaceted as the film’s narrative, ranging from playful and whimsical tracks like "Sambinha - Theme" to introspective and tender pieces such as "Sogno". The use of scat vocals, horns, and vibrant rhythms in tracks like "La Parmigiana - Horns Scat" and "Flute Mambo - Theme" adds a lively charm, while slower tracks like "Slow and Bouncy" highlight Piccioni’s ability to evoke emotional depth.
