Spaghetti Western Trivia - Dan Savio

 

The western score for 1963’s “Duello nel Texas” (Gunfight at Red Sands) was done by an Italian composer using the name Dan Savio. This was the composer’s first western score but he would go on to score dozens more Italian westerns, working most notably with such directors as Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Sollima. That composer’s real name was Ennio Morricone.
