Andrea Pazienza (23 May 1956 - 16 June 1988) was an Italian comics artist and painter. Plaza Mayor Company release Marco Fedalto's original score to the movie based on Pazienza's life...

The score is relatively short, coming in at just 10 tracks (18 min, 38 sec). It houses one incredibly intricate and instantly memorable theme which is echoed throughout the soundtrack. On paper this sounds like a lazy way of filling out the run time but it's such a wonderful theme, and composer Marco Fedalto approaches it differently each time it resurfaces, that it doesn't feel laboured or as though Fedalto is stretching the material to breaking point.

It's a lovingly crafted, upbeat collection of themes that is well worth adding to your soundtrack library. I enjoyed my time with the soundtrack and I know I'll be revisiting it for some time to come.
