ROME, ITALY, April 22, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Primo Maggio 2011 is just around the corner and looks set to feature a performance by the Rome-born film composer Ennio Morricone.
According to the organisers of the May 1st celebration, Morricone has created a song entitled Elegia per L'Italia specifically for the occasion that requires the services of 72 orchestra members and a 60-strong choir.
His composition has been put together to celebrate the 150th anniversary year of the unification of Italy.
The 82-year-old is known all over the world for his scores of iconic movies such as A Fistful of Dollars, The Thing, The Untouchables and Cinema Paradiso.
Morricone is one of several major acts due to perform, with the full programme only ever released a matter of days before.
It is free to attend the show at Piazza San Giovanni, which tends to run from lunchtime until about 23:00 local time and sees the streets filled with revellers all day long.
In the past, international stars such as Marlene Kuntz and Hard-Fi have appeared at the festival.
