Riziero Ortolani. Italian composer, arranger, conductor. Sometimes credited as Roger Higgins. Born March 25, 1926 · Pesaro, Marche, Italy. Died January 23, 2014 · Rome, Lazio, Italy. He was married to singer/actress . In the 50's, following the tracks of Stan Kenton, his model for inspiration, thanks to the innovative style and the sophisticated sonority, Ortolani founded his own Jazz band. In 1962, he wrote, together with Nino Oliviero, his first soundtrack for the film/documentary "Mondo Cane" (A Dog's Life), directed by Gualtiero Jiacopetti, whose theme became a world-wide success through the song "More" and gained the Grammy Award as "Best Instrumental Theme". Ortolani scored over 200 movies.
