ENNIO MORRICONE: INSEGUENDO QUEL SUONO

^{the Maestro told by his biographer Alessandro De Rosa}

An intimate concert-performance of music, images, and words

A remarkable journey into the creative and human universe of Ennio Morricone, an artist of inexhaustible imagination, capable of uniting multiplicity and coherence, experimentation and unmistakable identity within his music. His life followed a unique, intense path — at times contradictory, paradoxical, mysterious, and ineffable, much like music itself. Morricone crossed every musical and artistic field of the twentieth century: from cinema to concert music, from recording to songwriting, and into theatre, radio, and television. He elevated the vision of those who worked with him while always remaining true to himself, overturning perspectives and leaving behind an indelible mark — a distinctive and personal signature that remains a fascinating enigma, yet almost inevitable given his extraordinary talent.

This enduring desire to listen to him, understand him, and experience him again converges in a narrative that takes shape on stage and meets the audience through words, images, and, naturally, his great music. A unique, immersive, and deeply emotional concert-performance.

Guiding us through this journey is a special voice: that of his biographer Alessandro De Rosa, personally chosen by Morricone to collect his memories through years of encounters, conversations, study, and passionate exchange. From this relationship of trust and friendship emerged the Maestro’s official autobiography Inseguendo quel suono (Mondadori Libri), translated worldwide; the podcast Io e Ennio Morricone (Amazon Audible); and De Rosa’s participation — at the joint request of the Oscar-winning director and Morricone himself — in the acclaimed documentary film Ennio by Giuseppe Tornatore.

From the Maestro’s voice to the audience’s ear: accompanied by film excerpts and rare archival footage, Alessandro De Rosa’s narration becomes a bridge, bringing to life the thoughts, insights, and creative struggles behind Morricone’s immortal works.

And then the music — the music that made Morricone a legend.
On stage, accordionist Fausto Beccalossi and guitarist Claudio Farinone faithfully reinterpret his most celebrated themes, stripping away their sumptuous orchestral garments to reveal their original magic — a naked logical, architectural, mathematical precision, almost chess-like in its structure, combined with the timbral invention that gave birth to them. Every note, every pause becomes storytelling; each composition a piece of his extraordinary legacy.

Inseguendo quel suono opens broad reflections on music, society, and the culture of our time. It offers the opportunity to come closer to Ennio Morricone — to hear his voice, sense his presence, discover his secrets, and be swept away by the power of his music. An event that celebrates the Maestro in the most authentic way possible: through the storytelling of someone who knew him deeply and through music that will continue to live forever.
