Franco Bixio

Franco Bixio was a prolific Italian composer, conductor, and arranger, best known for his work scoring films throughout the '70s and '80s. He had a knack for creating memorable and often quirky melodies, frequently incorporating electronic instruments and funky grooves. You've probably heard his music even if you don't recognize the name, especially if you're a fan of Italian genre cinema.
