Who Are Those Composers? ~ Elio Mancuso

Almost nothing is known about the Italian composer Elio Mancuso. He was the working partner of composer Vasco Vassil Kojucharov and their film scores are credited as Vasco Mancuso. Together they composed scores for seven euro-westerns. Mancuso also worked with composer Berto Pisano and alone he turned out three more Euro-western scores.

Besides composing he was also a film producer, assistant director and actor. Needless to say he was still one of the more proficient composers of the genre.
