Sky Arte series 'Sound Gigante' explores alternative history of Italian music from 1964

Sky Arte will air the four-episode series 'Sound Gigante – Storia alternativa della musica italiana' on Wednesday, July 30, starting from 1964. The series, produced by Sky and Kplus with Sonne Film and Sample, written and directed by Giangiacomo De Stefano and Valentina Zanella, is narrated by Alessio Bertallot. It covers two decades of Italian music beyond opera, pop, and Sanremo, focusing on film scores, library music, prog groups, and unclassifiable artists. The first episode highlights Ennio Morricone's score for Sergio Leone's 'A Fistful of Dollars' as a key moment for spaghetti westerns. The series uses archival material, interviews, reconstructions, and graphics to connect seemingly unrelated stories.
