description
With this release of three OST written by Angelo Francesco Lavagnino, one of the most important Italian film music composers, Digitmovies is proud to present the eleventh volume of the series dedicated to the Italian Peplum.
All of these scores are now available for the absolutely first time on CD.
As always, this project has been possible thanks to the friends at C.A.M. who have helped us one more time so that we could use the mono master tapes kept in their historic vaults.
Nel Segno Di Roma is a movie directed by Guido Brignone.
The OST appears in its complete form and Angelo F. Lavagnino has compo sed an epic choral main theme called Il simbolo della gloria (Tr. 1) and reprised in an instrumental version in Tr. 2.
The scene where Marco Valerio is kept as a slave is scored with atmospheric music for organ, percussions and choir (Tr. 3) and sacred music functions as background to the temple sequence (Tr. 5).
Battle music tracks for brass and percussions are also not missing (Tr. 9, Tr. 15, Tr. 17, Tr. 18, Tr. 19).
The composer has written a delicate love theme for Zenobia and Marco Valerio with an exotic flavour that breaks the war atmosphere of the story and is introduced in Tr. 12, developed in its complete form in Tr. 13 and then reprised for orchestra and choir in the Finale (Tr. 23).
Folkloric music is also featured for the market scene in Palmira (Tr. 4) and for the court ballets like Tr. 10 (we present this in a stereo mix due to the fact that the track was recorded with two separate tracks for the percussion instruments) and Tr. 11.
As a bonus track we in clude the short, but brilliant intermission music (Tr. 24) (en vogue in those years).
Ponzio Pilato was directed by Irving Rapper.
Unfortunately only those eight tracks which we release here on CD have survived till today:
Osanna Pasquale (Tr. 1) is the mystical Main Title for orchestra and choir and then reprised in Tr. 31 for the sequence of the Palm Sunday (the film version of the Main Title does not feature the choir).
M° Lavagnino has written a strong military march for Pilate's legions (Tr. 26), for Jesus of Nazareth the author has composed a sacred theme for strings (Tr. 27) which is reprised in Tr. 30, and there is also battle music for brass and percussions (Tr. 28);
a sad and nostalgic theme (Tr. 32) for violin and orchestra describes Pilate's mourning for his wife's death.
Il colosso di Roma Muzio Scevola was directed by Giorgio Ferroni.
For this CD we have created a 4:27 suite with the only original music that Angelo F. Lavagnino has purposely written for the movie:
Suspense music for brass, percussions, organ, harp and strings.
All of the other music which appears in the movie itself had just been taken from CAM's library tracks.
This OST CD with three scores represents a tribute to the musical art of Angelo Francesco Lavagnino and fills another important gap of Italian Golden and Silver Age soundtracks.
 
story

nel segno di roma
This sword and sandal epic set in 217 AD follows the exploits of a courageous gladiator who is taken prisoner on behalf of the Queen of Palmyra.
To win her confidence, the gladiator pretends to hate his Roman masters, but as soon as she trusts him, he has his soldiers take her prisoner.
Because he has fallen for her, the gladiator has her released and then saves her by claiming that her crimes against the Empire were precipitated by her counselor.
Fortunately, the Senates believe it and romance ensues.

Cast:
Anika Ekberg, Georges Marchal, Folco Lulli, Chelo Alonso, Gino Cervi, Lorella De Luca, Jacques Sernas

Director:
Guido Brignone


Ponzio Pilato
This Italian drama tells the story of Christ's crucifixion from the viewpoint of the Roman emperor's procurator in Israel who must try to quell a Jewish revolt.
In a bizarre twist, John Drew Barrymore plays both Jesus and Judas in the film.

Cast:
Jean Marais, Jeanne Crain, Basil Rathbone, Leticia Roman, Massimo Serato, Renato Garrone, Gianni Garko, John Drew Barrymore, Raffaella Carrà, Paul Muller, Livio Lorenzon

Directors:
Gian Paolo Callegari
Irving Rapper


il Colosso di Roma (Muzio scevola)
Hero of Rome is not to be confused with Heroes of Rome, so don't.
Ex-Tarzan Gordon Scott plays the title character Leading lady Gabriella Pallotta is nearly as musclebound as Scott-and cuter, besides.
The plot is inconsequential: the usual tyrants, deadly tasks, fetching damsels and flashing pecs.
Scott is always worth watching, seldom more so than here.
Hero of Rome was another entry in TV's Sons of Hercules package, though Herc is nowhere to be found.

Cast:
Gordon Scott, Gabriella Pallotta, Massimo Serato, Roldano Lupi, Franco Fantasia

Director:
Giorgio Ferroni
