Two souls coexist: the composer who writes for large symphonic ensembles, and the rock and folk musician he has never left behind - a self-taught guitarist and a restless explorer of eclectic sound. In cinema, this duality has taken many forms. It can be heard in his collaboration with Wong Kar-wai on The Grandmaster, the film nominated for two Academy Awards for which Stefano composed the Stabat Mater. It also lies at the heart of his now-iconic score for The Sea Beyond (Mare Fuori), the Italian series distributed worldwide by Netflix. Across six seasons, Stefano has brought traditional folk instruments such as the bouzouki into dialogue with children's choir, electronics and symphonic writing, creating a musical world that is both visceral and unmistakably his own. The soundtracks have earned two Gold Records and a Double Platinum Record, with more than 100M streams across digital platforms. Then there are the projects that step outside the chorus: Fury, The Red Door and Belcanto, alongside his reworkings of operatic masterpieces by Verdi, Rossini and Donizetti, and new interpretations of Schubert and Mozart. His latest project is a concept EP written with Leléka, suspended between alt-classical and indie folk. He also composed music for a figure skating program at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. The search never ends - because it is less a search than a way forward. All his music can now be found on Spotify, gathered into one very, very long playlist.
