Respected composer and teacher, educated at the Cherubini Royal
Institute of Music. He studied with Ildrebrando Pizzetti and Edgardo
del Valle de Paz. It is generally thought that Mario
Castelnuovo-Tedesco actually composed more film music than he is
credited with, and that he was often called upon to ghost-write film
music for other composers who were under time constraints or had other
difficulties completing their assignments.
