Biography
Pesaro, Italy
Riziero “Riz” Ortolani (born 4 September 1931 in Pesaro, Italy) is an Italian film score composer.
In the early 1950s Ortolani was founder and member of a jazz band of national Italian renown. His first score he wrote for Gualtiero Jacopetti’s pseudo-documentary “Mondo cane” (1962), whose main title song “More” earned him a Grammy and also was nominated for an Oscar as Best Song. Another world famous track was his main title song for the movie “O’ Cangaceiro” (1970).
Ortolani scored all or parts of over 200 films, including German westerns like “Apache’s Last Battle” (Old Shatterhand, 1964) and a long series of Italian giallo, exploitation and mondo films.
Other films he has worked on include “Il sorpasso” (1962), “Io ho paura” (1977), “Danza macabra” (1964), “Sette orchidee macchiate di rosso” (1972), “Africa addio” (1966), “Addio Zio Tom” (1971), and the infamous “Cannibal Holocaust” (1980).
Scores of Riz Ortolani have recently been featured in “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” (2003), “Kill Bill: Vol. 2” (2004) and “Drive” (2011).
