Stelvio Cipriani (20 August 1937 ā 1 October 2018),[1] also known as Viostel, was an Italian composer, mostly of motion picture soundtracks, conductor and pianist.[2] Though not raised with a strong musical upbringing, as a child Cipriani was fascinated by his church's organ. His priest gave Cipriani his first music lessons and encouraged the boy and his family. Cipriani attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory starting at the age of 14. Around this time, he played in cruise ship bands,[3] enabling him to meet Dave Brubeck. Upon returning to Italy, he began working as piano accompaniment for Rita Pavone.[4]
