Nico Fidenco (artistic name Domenico Colarossi; 24 January 1933 – 18 November 2022)[1] was an Italian singer and film soundtrack composer who gained considerable popularity in 1960 with the release of the song "What a Sky" (Italian: "Su nel cielo"), taken from the film Silver Spoon Set by Francesco Maselli.
Self-taught in music, Fidenco did a few cover versions of film title songs for the Italian market. With the song "Legata a un granello di sabbia", he was the first Italian singer to sell one million copies of a single.[2] This interest in cinema led him to be a prolific soundtrack composer, including scores for westerns and many Joe D'Amato films.[3]
