New York City

Carmine Coppola (Born in New York City, June 11, 1910. Died in Northbridge, California in April 26, 1991) was an Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning, as well as BAFTA Award-nominated, American composer, editor, musical director, and songwriter. Coppola was a composer and conductor who contributed to many of the musical scores in The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Godfather Part III, and Apocalypse Now directed by his son Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola is also the father of Talia Shire and grandfather of Nicolas Cage and Sofia Coppola. His wife, Italia Coppola, died in 2004 in Los Angeles.

Coppola was born in New York City, the son of Marie (née Zasa) and Agostino Coppola. He was the father of August Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola and Talia Shire and grandfather of Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Robert Schwartzman. His wife, Italia Coppola, died in 2004 in Los Angeles. Coppola died in Northridge, California at the age of 80. Upon his death, Coppola’s grandson Robert Schwartzman changed his last name to ‘Carmine’ in his grandfather’s honor.


Coppola played the flute. He studied at Juilliard and later at the Manhattan School of Music. During the 1940s, Coppola worked under Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Then in 1951, Coppola left the Orchestra to pursue his dream of composing music. During that time he mostly worked as an orchestra conductor on Broadway and elsewhere, working with his son, legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, on additional music for his Finian’s Rainbow.
