One of my favorite composers. You probably have heard his famous theme from the film “[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1PfrmCGFnk).”

Here’s a less famous work that has haunted me for years: [The Man with the Harmonica](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udIY_3s4_XQ).

I once named a spaghetti sauce after him.

RIP, Ennio! 😔
