Five OSTs from Renzo Rossellini, Piero Umiliani, Carlo Savina, Gianni Ferrio, and Riz Ortolani. Il Segno Di Venere: The mono master tapes of the original recording session have survived in excellent condition. Digitmovies has used every note recorded to assemble the entire OST. The main score is cheerful, but also vaguely contemporary in orchestration. The music reflects a Roman setting and the relationships between the characters involving love, jealousy and loneliness. Il Vigile: At that time, RCA had issued an extended-play in mono with four selections. For this CD Digitmovies was able to access the original recording session in mono which allowed the label to create a CD containing the complete OST as well as material from the extremely rare LP. Maestro Umiliani composed a very pleasing OST which, in its various musical nuances, perfectly embodies the comic vein of the great Alberto Sordi. Il Moralista: Only a 45rpm EP was recorded for this film, with the main score written by Franco Migliacci and Carlo Savina and performed by Fred Buscaglione. Nothing had been previously released from the instrumental OST, but thanks to the mono master tapes it was possible to release all of Savina's background music. This CD contains the song from the opening credits, and a single with a different intro. Travolto Dagli Affetti Familiari/Il Vizio Di Famiglia: Gianni Ferrio is without a doubt one of the biggest names in film music. He used his immense talent to create music for Gialli films, Westerns and erotic comedies and also left an unforgettable mark in Italian television and pop music. For this film, Gianni Ferrio composed an enjoyable score where the recurring main melody is happy and carefree for the male protagonist and is alternated with romantic orchestral phrases. For Il Vizio Di Famiglia, unfortunately a country style song is missing, which is played during the scene where Edwige Fenech is on a motorcycle (but it could also be archive material). The composer created spirited and funny background music played by an orchestra and synthesizer, which is alternated with lounge music with sounds of pop music as well as the mysterious moods of giallo films. Gegè Bellavita: Riz Ortolani composed "Nun me scuccià," the brilliant and funky main theme sung in Neapolitan by the protagonist Flavio Bucci, which describes Gegè's laziness to work and his passion for women. This pleasant motif returns in an instrumental version, alternating with a recurring upbeat tarantella in a pop version, and a romantic love theme. This is another CD that enriches the discography of one of the most beloved composers in the world.
