GDM Music releases on CD the OST composed by Ennio Morricone for the movie directed
in 1997 by Franco and Sergio Citti and starring Fiorello, Franco Citti, Elide Melli, Olimpia
Carlisi, Ermanno Castriota, Guerrino Crivello, Barbara De Pace. The plot is placed in a
fantastic “Happy Village” lived by funny and fascinating characters, everyone with his
own characteristic of comic and magic poetry. Anyway they live all in harmony. In this
dreamy atmosphere Salvatore (Fiorello) arrives, nephew of that Totò who made flying on
the brooms a gang of poor people into Milan’s sky. His presence makes more magic the
situation. Through a liquid he brings with himself in some coloured small bottle that makes
dreams come true of all the “Happy Village” ’s inhabitants. Ennio Morricone did succeed
to represent musically all the sweet and sad, funny and comic, magic and mysterious
sides of this story that winks to the Italian Neorealism Cinema, writing a cheerful little march
with popular flavor alternated to extremely romantic and sometimes sad themes. For the
making of this CD. For the making of this special edition CD the stereo master tapes of the
original session were used that gave the chance to release the complete version of a
much requested score, all digitally restored and remastered.
