Pino Donaggio

Pino Donaggio is an Italian singer, songwriter and film composer, born Giuseppe Donaggio on Burano, in the Venetian lagoon, in 1941. A classically trained violinist, he turned to pop singing in 1959 and wrote the 1965 hit Io che non vivo, later recorded in English by Dusty Springfield as You Don't Have to Say You Love Me. From the 1970s he became a prolific composer for cinema, known for thriller and horror scores. Donaggio studied violin at the conservatories of Venice and Milan and first sang at the Sanremo Festival in 1961. His first film score was Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now (1973).
