Nino – A Film About Nino Rota (2026)

Explore the extraordinary legacy of Nino Rota, the legendary Italian composer whose music defined some of cinema’s most unforgettable moments. Renowned for his iconic collaborations with Federico Fellini, Rota scored 16 of the director’s films, including La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Juliet of the Spirits, and Amarcord. His genius also extended to Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet and the hauntingly Sicilian theme of The Godfather—a score for Part II that earned him his sole Academy Award. Across a staggering 150 film scores, Rota worked with giants like King Vidor on War and Peace and Luchino Visconti on The Leopard. He passed away in 1979 at the age of 68, leaving behind a timeless musical legacy.
