Alessandro Alessandroni (1925 – 2017) was an Italian musician and composer renowned for his versatility and influence in the world of film music, particularly during the golden age of Italian cinema. His prolific career spanned several decades, during which he contributed to hundreds of cinematic scores, including soundtracks for Spaghetti Westerns, giallo films, and various other genres. He is perhaps best known for his long-standing collaboration with composer Ennio Morricone, where his distinctive whistling and guitar playing became iconic elements of the soundtracks for Sergio Leone's Westerns – most notably "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

Alessandroni's work encompassed a wide array of musical styles, from lush orchestral arrangements to groovy lounge and funk tunes, which were reflective of different eras of cinematic trends. His talent for creating evocative melodies and his skilled use of a vast range of instruments allowed him to craft soundtracks that would become synonymous with the films they accompanied. In his later years, Alessandroni remained active, continuing to explore diverse musical realms and receiving recognition for his contributions to the eclectic world of Italian film music. His extensive discography includes not just original soundtracks but also standalone albums that showcase his creativity and influence as a solo artist, with recent releases like "Guitar Fantasy" underlining the timeless quality of his work.
