Giuseppe (Sordi), working at a petrol station in Italy, is called to join his father (De Sica) who lives in the United States and suddenly reemerges after years of silence. The meeting takes place in New York during a television \"show,\" with Giuseppe reembracing his father and receiving a gift of ten thousand dollars and a luxurious car. In reality, his father is deep in debt to several gambling houses where he's known by the nickname \"Mandolin.\" At the end of the story, after fortunately reaching Memphis, where Mandolino owns a small house, Giuseppe finds his father's sister-in-law, owner of a drug store and a petrol station, and resigns himself to his old job while his father goes to prison. Piero Piccioni composed one of his most beautiful soundtracks for Alberto Sordi's film, writing \"Amore amore amore,\" performed in the opening titles by Christy's cutting voice. This main theme is reprised in different orchestral versions, sometimes romantic and nostalgic, other times cheerful and lively. M Piccioni wrote a second main theme, \"Walk song,\" which can be heard in pleasant instrumental reprises and in the version sung by the beautiful voice of Lydia Mac Donald, the composer's favorite singer. Piero Piccioni also composed a lot of lounge-style music that serves as a backdrop to the American misadventures of poor Giuseppe, dazzled by the mirage of a happy life and a mountain of easy money\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40488892039265,"sku":"8032539494694","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_2758306_226133.jpg?v=1733860698","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8032539494694-piero-piccioni-un-italiano-in-america-ost","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
