“The idol of Ennio Morricone was David Pizarro”


When talking about “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, Cinema Paradiso “,” Los Intocables “and many other jewels of cinema, it is impossible not to imagine them without the soundtrack that made them immortal. And in all of them was Ennio Morricone, who yesterday wrote the symphony of a world mourning.

In the first hour, the Italian press reported his death, at 91, and the planet received with the same nostalgia that delivered, through the big screen, the news of his departure.

The composer had been admitted to a Roman clinic after a fall that caused a fracture in the femur. But at his age, other complications ended up happening to him.

True to form, the teacher prepared a movie farewell and delivered a letter to family and friends, who were surprised by the letter. “I, Ennio Morricone, have died. I announce it like this to all the friends who were always close and also to those a little distant that I say goodbye with great affection ”, the writing reads.

Throughout the text, he names several people and advises that “there is only one reason that prompts me to greet everyone like this and to celebrate a funeral privately: I don’t want to bother … I hope they understand how much I loved them.”

With his handwriting, in addition, he gave a message to his wife, who accompanied him for 70 years. “I renew to him the extraordinary love that has kept us together and that I regret leaving. To him, my most painful goodbye ”, were the words for María Travia, more than his wife, his muse.

Fanatic

The master of soundtracks for great films visited Chile repeatedly and all his presentations were successful.

This is confirmed by Claudio Borghi. Yes, the “Bichi”, who is a fan of barbecue, ball and cinema. “I started following it since 88 as a result of the movie ‘Cinema Paradiso’. He came to Parque Araucano and made a free recital. And when we went to look for tickets, they were exhausted, ”he recalled.

Some time later, yes, he had his revenge, and he even made the cut with his referent. “When we found out that he was coming to Chile, we bought the tickets a year before and then they scheduled a friendly match for that day. My daughter spoke with Alfredo Alonso (producer) to see if she could let me in to one of her rehearsals, and it was spectacular ”, the“ Bichi ”blew.

-What did you fight? I was able to converse directly with him, as I speak Italian. He told me that he knew David Pizarro, because he played in Italy. It was his idol. I cried like a five-year-old goat when I was with Ennio.
