  Oscar winner Ennio Morricone (pictured right receiving his Oscar) died on July 6th, 2020 in a clinic in Rome from the consequences of a fall at the age of 91 years. He was a great musician and composer who wrote over 400 scores including some of the most beautiful soundtracks of Italian and world cinema from "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly", "A Fistful of Dollars", "Exorcist II" and "Once Upon a Time in America". His most famous collaboration using the accordion was his arrangement of a Wolmer Beltrami song 'La Fisarmonica', made successful by Gianni Morandi. Video above. His achievements include: an Academy Honorary Award (for his contributions to the art of film music) six Oscar nominations an Academy Award (for his score “The Hateful Eight” - Quentin Tarantino film) three Grammy Awards three Golden Globes six BAFTAs ten David di Donatello eleven Nastro d'Argento two European Film Awards a Golden Lion Honorary Award the Polar Music Prize. In 2010 Ennio was met by a delegation from the Museum Castelfidardo, composed of President Vincenzo Canali, Beniamino Bugiolacchi and Mirco Patarini in Pesaro, before his concert in that city.
