He also composed the music for two of Franco Zeffirelli's Shakespeare films, and for the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy, receiving the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Godfather Part II (1974).
During his long career, Rota was an extraordinarily prolific composer, especially of music for the cinema. He wrote more than 150 scores for Italian and international productions from the 1930s until his death in 1979—an average of three scores each year over a 46-year period, and in his most productive period from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s he wrote as many as ten scores every year, and sometimes more, with a remarkable thirteen film scores to his credit in 1954. Alongside this great body of film work, he composed ten operas, five ballets and dozens of other orchestral, choral and chamber works, the best known being his string concerto. He also composed the music for many theatre productions by Visconti, Zeffirelli and Eduardo De Filippo as well as maintaining a long teaching career at the Liceo Musicale in Bari, Italy, where he was the director for almost 30 years.
Rota was born Giovanni Rota Rinaldi on 3 December 1911, into a musical family in Milan. Rota was a renowned child prodigy—his first oratorio, L'infanzia di San Giovanni Battista, was written at age 11 and performed in Milan and Paris as early as 1923; his three-act lyrical comedy after Hans Christian Andersen, Il Principe Porcaro, was composed when he was just 13 and published in 1926. He studied at the Milan conservatory there under Giacomo Orefice and then undertook serious study of composition under Ildebrando Pizzetti and Alfredo Casella at the Santa Cecilia Academy in Rome, graduating in 1930.
Encouraged by Arturo Toscanini, Rota moved to the United States where he lived from 1930 to 1932. He won a scholarship to the Curtis Institute of Philadelphia, where he was taught conducting by Fritz Reiner and had Rosario Scalero as an instructor in composition. Returning to Milan, he wrote a thesis on the Renaissance composer Gioseffo Zarlino. Rota earned a degree in literature from the University of Milan, graduating in 1937, and began a teaching career that led to the directorship of the Liceo Musicale in Bari, a title he held from 1950 until 1978.
Rota had one daughter, Nina Rota, from a relationship with pianist Magda Longari. He died, age 67, from a coronary thrombosis in Rome.

I am a 53 year old Korean.
I worked for 3 years in the Korean branch in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in my 30s.
That's when I fell in love with a Vietnamese lady.
However, we couldn't get married because of our families who opposed international marriage.
I came back to Korea and lost contact with her.
I haven't forgotten her and I'm not married yet.
I miss her a lot these days.
It's summer vacation now.
I came back to Ho Chi Minh yesterday.
Sitting in a coffee shop looking at the YOCO building where she worked.
I'm tearing up listening to this music.
I should have been more courageous then...

I am a Japanese old man, sixty eight years old. I watched the movie `Romeo and Juliet` when I was a university student and I was very much moved by the movie, tears dropped from eyes. It was a very nostalgic memory.
@nyushacat2238
Dear Sakuraikatsuhiko! Please do not be sad. I am sure their souls reincarnated in their other lives, met each other, married and lived happily. What we do not achieve in one life, there is still a hope to achieve it in the next life. ❤️🙂🍀

I was neighbors with Henri Mancini and family growing up. He bought the house in front of mines as a wedding gift to his son and new wife across the street from us in Santa Monica, California. I use to play with his grandson and grandkids. I never understood what a brilliant composer he was when I was a kid. Now at the age of 48 this song brings me back to the many memories of life. If you are all listening to his beautiful music today, give it a thumbs up for Henri Mancini!! His beautiful music will last beyond eternity.
@chisciccise
Mancini is good for sure, just not enough to compose music like this. It’s author is in fact the Italian Nino Rota.
