This young guitarist Jacopo Mastrangelo performs every evening at sunset in Piazza Navona one of the most famous squares in Rome.

Here the soundtracks of the film "Once upon a time in the West" and "The Mission" written by Oscar winner the master Morricone.

Today is a sad day for Italy and for lovers of beautiful music.

The master and Oscar winner Ennio Morricone died today at the age of 91, leaving us his precious gift: his music that will never die!

His music will never die

He remained clear to the end and wrote the obituary for his disappearance in his own hand:

" I Ennio Morricone is dead.

So I announce it to all the friends who have always been close to me and also to those more distant than I greet with much affection. Impossible to name them all.

There is only one reason that drives me to greet everyone like this and have a funeral in private:
 

I don't want to disturb anyone "


The moving greetings to his wife, children, grandchildren and relatives and collaborators follow.

Sad news indeed...I have been loving Ennio's music for decades...I have lot's of his music on several of my playlists that I listen to over and over. May he rest in peace.
