Vedo Nudo” is a comedy in episodes that explores the many facets of desire and Italian society in the 1960s. Starring the brilliant Nino Manfredi, the film ranges from irony to social critique, addressing themes of sexuality, taboos, and cultural changes with a light touch. The soundtrack adapts seamlessly to each episode, modulating its tone to suit the narrative and the characters. Armando Trovajoli demonstrates an extraordinary ability to create music that complements and enhances the mood of each segment of the film. The score is an eclectic mix that mirrors the dynamic storytelling. The main theme is light and catchy, with an ironic twist that reflects the overall tone of the film. The melody sticks easily in the audience’s mind, adding a playful element to the stories being told.

As often seen in Trovajoli’s works, jazz plays a central role. The jazzy, lively, and rhythmic tracks infuse energy into the more comedic and vibrant scenes, elegantly capturing the spirit of the 1960s. In the more intimate or reflective moments, Trovajoli introduces delicate orchestral pieces featuring strings and piano. These tracks add emotional depth and contrast with the lighter sequences, showcasing the expressive range of the score. Trovajoli uses music as an autonomous narrative tool, playing with tones and rhythms that emphasize visual gags and amplify the satirical side of the film. Trovajoli’s music integrates seamlessly with Dino Risi’s visuals, accentuating tonal shifts and accompanying the narrative’s rhythm. The soundtrack not only enriches the viewing experience but becomes an integral part of the film’s identity, capturing the social and cultural context of the era.

The soundtrack for “Vedo Nudo” is one of Armando Trovajoli’s most brilliant examples of music that is simultaneously entertaining, refined, and narratively incisive. Though less well-known than some of his other works, this score is a landmark in Italian cinema of the time, engaging audiences with its lightness and intelligence.

Now available in a transparent violet vinyl format / 180 grams, limited edition numbered to 500 copies, featuring unreleased tracks on vinyl for the first time.
