He collaborated with the most famous italian and international directors, including Pier Paolo Pasolini, Bernardo Bertolucci, Giuseppe Tornatore, Brian de Palma, Roman Polanski, and Oliver Stone, composing hundreds of soundtracks and receiving multiple awards and recognitions, including an honorary Oscar, a Golden Lion, 7 David di Donatello, 3 Golden Globes, 8 Nastri d'argento (silver ribbons) and many gold and platinum discs.
