NTS Guide to: Italian Library, Soundtracks and OSTs
In the era immediately following WWII, Italy experienced an economic recovery incomparable to any other Western European country. The Italian state transformed from a mostly rural nation into a global industrial power. A newly wealthy class of Italians bought new appliances, elegant clothes, and sleek sports cars. This was La Dolce Vita: the sweet life.
Italian films followed suit – they presented Italy to the outside world as romantic, sophisticated, and aspirational. The film soundtracks, composed by masters like Stelvio Cipriani, Ennio Morricone, and Piero Umiliani, are plush mood pieces, rich with exotic instrumentation and performed by world-class studio musicians. They are the most potent cultural artefacts from this era.
Living la dolce vita with two hours of sophisticated '60s and '70s Italian Library, film scores and OSTs.
Collection: La Dolce Vita
