The veteran film composer, who turns 90 in November, says he will write no more scores.

But he’s going to carry on conducting, he tells Italian media.

He will be remembered for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and so much more.

    He is definitely a man who has been on a Mission and is Untouchable as a composer. More seriously, a truly great composer.
