Nino Rota:1911年12月3日出生在意大利米蘭的一個音樂世家里,他的父親是Nino Rinaldi。Nino Rota在很小的時候便顯現出極大音樂天賦,早期他就讀于羅馬哥斯達尼加音樂學院,他做的第一首較專業的曲子"L'infanzia di San Giovanni Battista"便在米蘭和巴黎得到演奏,而那時他僅有12歲。
后來他又在費城柯蒂斯音樂學院,米蘭大學,意大利國立巴力音樂院進行進一步深造。并在20世紀40到50年代為一些歌劇,芭蕾舞劇作曲,其中包括:"Ariodante", "Torquemada", "I Due Timidi", "La notte di un Neurastenico" , "Aladino e la Lampada Magica"。
Rota1933年受雇于意大利的一些電影公司,開始為電影作配樂,并與Franco Zeffirelli, Luchino Visconti Renato Castellani, Mario Monicelli這些導演進行廣泛的合作.而他與傳奇導演Federico Fellini的合作則最為成功。從1952年的電影"The White Sheik"起,Rota在25年間為Fellini的16部名作譜寫了配樂,其中包括:"La Strada" (1954)中文翻譯“大路”, "Le Notti di Cabiria"卡比里亞之夜 (1957), "La Dolce Vita" 甜蜜生活(1960), "81/2" (1963), "Satyricon" 愛情神話(1970), "Roma"羅馬 (1972), "Amarcord"阿瑪柯德,我的回憶,我回憶 (1973) ,"Casanova"卡薩諾瓦 (1976)
在Rota音樂歷程之中值得一提的作品還有"Il Gattopardo"豹 (1963), "Romeo & Juliet" 羅密歐與朱麗葉(1968),當然還有那部本應為其奪得奧斯卡金像獎的"The Godfather" 教父(1972)(這部作品沒有獲獎主要是因為主題音樂出自他以前為"Fortunella" (1957)制作的配樂)而1975年他與配樂大師Carmine合作,為其老搭檔Fellini的電影"The Godfather Part II"譜寫的配樂最終為他獲得了奧斯卡最佳配樂獎的名譽。但可惜的是Rota于1979年4月10日在羅馬的家中因病去世,享年68歲

費里尼與尼諾羅塔的相識趣聞 在意大利電影城,每逢下班時刻,公車站牌總是大排長龍。但是公車司機卻總是將車停在尼諾羅塔面前,讓他先上車。每天一起等車的費里尼看不過去,就上前理論。于是,一代導演和音樂家就這樣相識了。 在意大利導演費里尼一生所拍的24部影片中,尼諾羅塔負責配樂19部。費里尼曾說:尼諾好像是上天派來幫我完成電影的人! 尼諾羅塔的音樂在時光里,卻像不會凋零的記憶,重復著百年電影歷史的青春時刻。

[edit] Biography
Born into a musical family in Milan, Rota studied at the conservatory there under Ildebrando Pizzetti. His first oratorio, L'infanzia di San Giovanni Battista, was performed in Milan and Paris as early as 1923 and his lyrical comedy, Il Principe Porcaro, was composed in 1926. 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 took classes in orchestra with 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. In 1937, he began a teaching career that led to the directorship of the Bari Conservatory, a title he held from 1950 until his death in 1979.
During the 1940s, Rota composed scores for more than 32 films, including Renato Castellani's Zazà (1944). His association with Fellini began with Lo sceicco bianco (1952), followed by I vitelloni (1953) and La strada (1954). They continued to work together for decades, and Fellini recalled:
The most precious collaborator I have ever had, I say it straightaway and don't even have to hesitate, was Nino Rota — between us, immediately, a complete, total, harmony... He had a geometric imagination, a musical approach worthy of celestial spheres. He thus had no need to see images from my movies. When I asked him about the melodies he had in mind to comment one sequence or another, I clearly realized he was not concerned with images at all. His world was inner, inside himself, and reality had no way to enter it. [1]

Problems listening to the file? See media help.Rota's score for Fellini's 8? (1963) is often cited as one of the factors which makes the film cohesive. His score for Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits (1965) included a collaboration with Eugene Walter on the song, "Go Milk the Moon" (cut from the final version of the film), and they teamed again for the song "What Is a Youth?", part of Rota's score for Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. In all, Rota wrote scores to more than 150 films.
Rota wrote several concerti and other orchestral works as well as piano, chamber and choral music. After his death
