Though not coming from a musical background, as a child Cipriani was fascinated by his church's organ. His priest gave him his first music lessons and encouraged Cipriani and his family. Cipriani passed his examinations and studied at Santa Cecilia Conservatory from the age of 14, then played on cruise ship bands, that enabled him to meet Dave Brubeck. Upon return to Italy he accompanied Rita Pavone on piano.
His first soundtrack was the spaghetti western The Bounty Killer (1966), followed by a well known score for The Stranger Returns (also known as A Man, a Horse, a Gun and Shoot First, Laugh Last) (1967) starring Tony Anthony. Cipriani later composed other spaghetti western scores with Anthony, together with many popular poliziottesco soundtracks.
Cipriani became prolific in the Italian film world and was awarded a Nastro d'Argento for Best Score for The Anonymous Venetian (1970).
One of Cipriani's most famous scores is from the 1973 film La polizia sta a guardare (The Great Kidnapping). The main theme was recycled by Cipriani in 1977 for the score to Tentacoli, and was brought to the public's attention again in 2007 when it was featured in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.
Cipriani's scores for the films of the "La Polizia..." series were different arrangements over the same theme. Some of those themes were used in the soundtrack of the couple Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani's first feature Amer.
In a 2007 interview, Cipriani said that he had composed music for Pope John Paul II and was currently working with Pope Benedict XVI.

IL volto si spegne la sera,
tra le luci di occhi solitari
e l'amore tesse ,
tesse oltre e solo all'infinito...
lacrime silenziose...
di ibrida rugiada...
Cos'i' come il freddo
di questo leve imbrunire ,
si fa sera...

時は遠くはるかに過ぎ去っても、今なお美しいあなたの思い出・・・北国の冬の青空に浮かんではまた消える・・・これがベニスの愛のイメージですね。

Adoro immensamente questa sublime, ineguagliabile melodia ... mi arriva ogni volta dritta al cuore e nel più profondo dell'animo, come la freccia di una balestra ...
Sono note così definite e dirette ... sublimi, eppure al tempo stesso anche così eleganti, raffinate ed eteree ... quasi lo stesso delicato incanto dei giochi di luce che i motivi bizantini degli splendidi palazzi che si affacciano sul Canal Grande disegnano sulla Laguna baciata dal sole ...

Lindo seu comentário, é quase uma poesia!😊😊
@pierluigibelcaro9950
Sono contento che le mie parole, nate dal cuore, Le siano piaciute.
La ringrazio molto per la Sua gentilezza e la Sua dolcezza, Sueli.
Le auguro una buona serata e mille cose belle nella vita 🙂🌹

I first heard this theme in Venice, during the Regatta in 1971. They blasted it on loudspeakers all day along the Grand Canal. It was magical, of course.

Italy land of magic

Un brano ....inarrivabile .....di una bellezza non esemplificabile a parole.....ma solo con reconditi e misteriosi linguaggi nel piu' profondo dell' animo umano.
