Hhmmm ... Tre Per Una Rapina is a 1964 crime thriller with Barbara Steele that doesn't even have an English translation @ IMDB.com.

Apparently Tre Per Una Rapina was released only in Italy and Spain. One would think that the presence of Barbara Steele in the cast could have made this title a little better known (I only just learned about this by looking up Tre Per Una Rapina online this evening).

Whether Piccioni's music approach is jazzy or suspenseful, I'm certainly interested in witnessing this item getting a soundtrack issued. smile

[I guess "wayoutwest" & "slint" & "Ag^Janus" plus many others would have interest in this, too.]

LO STRANIERO is no longer in stock @ SAE.

Does anybody know if this Verita Note CD has been sold out or do copies remain for sale with other vendors?


I remember buying a copy from HMV Japan.

I keep coming back to this Piccioni in my mind, more than any other of his.

Unfortunately it seems, gone.

Certainly I would be interested in Tre Per Una Rapina. I cannot find anything about it.

Count me in as well it sounds like it could have a very interesting score.

Google Translation:
Gerhard, a young technical designer who works at a factory alarm equipment for banks, in Düsseldorf, prepares the ground for a robbery. The performers will be: Nicola, a southern unemployed easy to compromise, Mario, a former paratrooper Milan ready to do anything to not lose the love of Anna, an attractive model, and Hans who carries the legacy of a world ruined by the Nazis . Leveraging psychological effect of surprise, the coup succeeds. But the three young people become soon realize the futility of their actions: Mario fails to preserve Anna, Nicholas must report on his work to the father, Hans, in the grip of a strong shock, dies in an accident.

Looks like it might also have had an LP release if Sound track collector is anything to go by:

I don't see anything in the Italiansoundtracks site on any C.A.M. vinyl for Tre Per Una Rapina.
However, apparently some scenes from this movie are visible inside this YouTube video on a song by The Rogues:

Stefan has confirmed that the soundtrackcollector entry is a mistake.

From the list unreleased Piccioni above, there's a gap between 1964 and 1969.
Nothing from between 1965 & 1968, then 3 titles from 1969:

  • GIOVINEZZA GIOVINEZZA (Youth March)
  • ADDIO ALEXANDRA (Love Me, Love My Wife) ... an X-rated comedy
  • TOH E' MORTA LA NONNA (Oh, Grandmother's Dead) ... black comedy/ crime flick

    Don't know about how any of these scores sound, but the 3rd one listed seems the most intriguing to me.

  • GIOVINEZZA GIOVINEZZA (Youth March)
  • TOH E' MORTA LA NONNA (Oh, Grandmother's Dead) ... black comedy/ crime flick

    Both are lounge scores, typical of the period. From what I remember they were similar to OSS 117, with a lot of shorter takes with a smaller band and less epic sound than the Sordi movies. I haven't heard ADDIO ALEXANDRA

    Fermate il mondo... voglio scendere! is the only unreleased Piccioni within the C.A.M. archives from year 1970.

    It's another comedy, so I expect reactions to this would be mixed.

    Per questa note (This Is The Night) is a drama from 1977 and might accumulate some interest amongst Piccioni fans.

    The 1979 Francesco Rosi film Cristo si è fermato a Eboli has been mentioned with regularity within these FSM threads on Piccioni; one might have thought this would have already been released by now since there's an established customer base of Piccioni collectors who have been wanting this for years...

    The final item on this list of unreleased Piccioni @ C.A.M. is most intriguing to me.

    It's a single television segment from 1981 entitled La presenza perfetta.
    This was part of a TV-mini series called I giochi del diavolo, and the story is a horror/fantasy based upon a short story by Henry James!

    I no doubt speak on behalf of many when I request La presenza perfetta be issued onto disc pronto.
    Is Daniela Durazzini still the person who licenses titles from C.A.M. for Gruppo Sugar?
    Does anybody from Sugar read our ramblings here ... ? ... smile

    li]GIOVINEZZA GIOVINEZZA (Youth March)

    Don't know about how any of these scores sound, but the 3rd one listed seems the most intriguing to me.


    I am sure that the most intriguing of the three for you would be GIOVINEZZA GIOVINEZZA. This is not at all a lounge score, but a very sombre symphonic one. This one should be right up your alley because there are reminiscences of SENILITÀ, LA VIACCIA and of LO STRANIERO, also a bit of FRATELLI KARAMAZOV creeps in in the melodic main theme. I hope that this quite fascinating score will still get an official release, but as the movie is a very unknown one this is of course not sure at current times.
    There are a few source music cues in the style of the 30s, but for the most part this is very impressionistic, reflective and introspective, almost meditative music which throughout conveys a real feeling of loneliness and despair.

    It's a single television segment from 1981 entitled La presenza perfetta.

    The complete LA PRESENZA PERFETTA TV movie is on Youtube and I have viewed it last year. Most of the music was just reused from older Piccioni scores - as far as I remember mainly from LO STRANIERO and LA VIACCIA. So you can't fill a CD with the score.

    Thanks again, Stefan.

    Was this segment 'tracked' as if stock library music cues were used?
    Or did Piccioni hold a seperate recording session and repeated his earlier compositions?

    It seemed to be rather "tracked" with some short bits and pieces in between probably newly composed.

    Of all the titles on Stefan's list, Beat Records is issuing this one.



    A soundtrack from a 1970 Barbara Steele movie is being released instead of a 1964 Barbara Steele movie (Tre Per Una Rapina), but I expect we Piccioni addicts will get this one regardless.
    [Fermate il mondo... voglio scendere! was apparently made in 1968, but not distributed until 1970. I wonder if Beat Records will reveal the dates of the recording sessions within their booklet notes?]

    Beat Records is also offering an expansion of F. de Masi's Lo Squaratore di New York, but no indication yet of an expansion on Piccioni's Una Tomba Aperta, Una Bara Vuota (both were paired together on previous Beat editions).

    ... we can but hope ...

    Is there much unreleased music from Piccioni's Una Tomba Aperta, Una Bara Vuota?

    I'm also hoping the television production Genti E Paesi will have something more released, if there is any. As L'Italia Vista Dal Cielo has recently.

    I'm not aware of how much music from Una Tomba Apert ... is unreleased, but I'm hoping there is more than the 8 cues on the older Beat issue.
