Venetian-born composer and songwriter Pino Donaggio is celebrated for his seamless transition from Italian pop artist to internationally acclaimed film composer. Initially gaining fame in the 1960s with his melodic songwriting and soulful voice, he later became renowned for his evocative film scores, collaborating with directors such as Brian De Palma on classics like *Carrie* and *Dressed to Kill*. Blending lyrical romanticism with haunting orchestral textures, Donaggio’s music bridges the worlds of popular song and cinematic storytelling, marking him as one of Italy’s most versatile and enduring musical voices.
