Moggi

Moggi is one of the pseudonyms of Piero Umiliani (1926-2001), the Italian composer who scored many films of the 1960s and 1970s and wrote "Mah Nà Mah Nà". Umiliani explained that he used names such as Moggi and Zalla because RAI would not accept too many pieces from a single author. The Moggi records belong to his library music, where jazz, electronic sounds and soundtrack themes meet. Umiliani was born in Florence on 17 July 1926 and died in Rome on 14 February 2001. Duke Ellington was his main influence, and he moved to Rome to arrange for Armando Trovajoli.
