His death is too regrettable for spaghetti western fans.
He wrote the unforgettable scores at the golden age of Italian film.
My favourite is VADO... L'AMMAZZO E TORNO.
I repeatedly played "Mexico Western" (from VADO...) as a requiem.
Addio Francesco!

Next to Morricone he was my favorite Spaghetti Western composer. I have enjoyed endless hours of listening pleasure from his recordings and looked forward to new releases. His passing marks a sad time but his recordings will continue to give me joy. Thank you maestro. You will be greatly missed

I meet him personally few years ago in Valencia (Spain), a nice man, a great person, superb composer. It was one of the great and most forgotten masters of the italian film music, probably because he worked on B movies, italian exploitations and peplums. His music was always inspired and superb. Ciao maestro!!!
