Paolo Buonvino

Paolo Buonvino (born 29 March 1968) is an Italian composer, musician, conductor, and music arranger.

Buonvino was born on 29 March 1968 in Scordia, a comune in Sicily, Italy. He earned his Piano Bachelor-Degree from the Conservatorio Francesco Cilea in Reggio Calabria and a Master-Degree in Music Disciplines from the University of Bologna.

In the late 1990s, he began to compose film scores and in 1999 he won the Cam/Rota Prize.

In 2008 he won a David di Donatello for best score and a Nastro d'Argento in the same category for the film Quiet Chaos.

In 2009 he won a second Nastro d'Argento for the score of the film Italians.

After that ground-breaking exploit, the musician started collaboration with Italian Film Director Gabriele Muccino, known for The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) starring Will Smith and Seven Pounds (2018), again starring Will Smith alongside Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, and Barry Pepper.

For Muccino, Paolo Buonvino wrote the scores for some of the movies that would not only become colossal hits at the Italian box-office but generational phenomena, considered modern classics: Ecco fatto (1998); Come te nessuno mai (But forever in My Mind) (1999), L'ultimo bacio (The Last Kiss) (2001); Ricordati di me (Remember Me, My Love) (2003); Baciami ancora (Kiss Me Again) (2010); and the American production of Fathers & Daughters (2015), starring Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Kylie Rogers alongside Jane Fonda and Octavia Spencer.

Throughout the years the artist confronted himself also with the pop/rock arena writing music for international artists of the caliber of Dolores'O Riordan, leader of The Cranberries and Skin, former leader of Skunk Anansie; and other Italian singers including Andrea Bocelli; Carmen Consoli; Elisa; Jovanotti and Fiorella Mannoia.
