Armando Trovajoli

Armando Trovajoli, celebrated Italian pianist, composer and conductor, had an early initiation into music thanks to his violinist father. After studying at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, he specialized in film composition with Angelo Francesco Lavagnino. Trovajoli was a notable jazz musician, performing with big names such as Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. He also achieved success in pop music and musical comedy, with works such as "Rugantino" and "Aggiungi un posto a tavola". His versatility has led him to compose more than three hundred film scores, collaborating with internationally renowned directors.   Among the soundtracks released for Cinevox Record we find "La Ciociara," "La stanza del vescovo," "Nell'anno del signore" and "Telefoni Bianchi," "Il mondo nuovo." Recognized with several awards and honors, his contribution to Italian music was commemorated with the naming of the Armando Trovajoli Bridge of Music in Rome after his passing in 2013.
