Angelo Francesco Lavagnino

Angelo Francesco Lavagnino was an Italian composer best known for his prolific work in film music during the mid-20th century. Born in 1909, Lavagnino created rich, evocative scores that spanned a variety of genres—from historical epics to science fiction and adventure films. He was particularly active in the 1950s and 1960s, scoring for numerous Italian and international productions.

Lavagnino had a special talent for blending classical orchestration with dramatic flair, making his soundtracks stand out in films like "The Wonders of Aladdin," "Maciste contro il Vampiro," and "La Maja Desnuda." He frequently worked on peplum (sword-and-sandal) and science fiction films, and his music added depth and grandeur to fantastical storylines. While he may not be as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Lavagnino’s legacy in classic film soundtracks remains influential and cherished by enthusiasts of vintage cinema scores.
