A classically-trained violinist, he was also a popular SingerSongwriter in Italy in TheSixties. His SignatureSong was "Io che non vivo (senza te)", which was Anglicized into Music/DustySpringfield's classic "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Switching to film scoring full time after ''Film/DontLookNow'', he's known for his collaborations with director Creator/BrianDePalma as well as his horror and fantasy film scores.

30* AssociatedComposer: For Creator/BrianDePalma, Creator/BarryLevinson, and Creator/JoeDante.
31* GratuitousDiscoSequence: His score in ''Film/{{Carrie|1976}}'' combines PsychoStrings with funkadelic '70s cues. Most notably, the prom is given a disco theme, with ruffles on most of the characters.
32* OminousMusicBoxTune: Used heavily along with the harpsichord in ''Film/TouristTrap''.
33* RecycledTrailerMusic: If the film being advertised is an erotic thriller, expect to hear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYQmsyYxSFk "Telescope"]] from ''Film/BodyDouble''.
34* StandardSnippet: "Telescope" from ''Film/BodyDouble'', for sexually charged scenes.
