For the second year in a row, PA74 Music founder Alessandro Porcella has signed the theme tune of Azzurro – Storie di Mare, the Rai 1 programme hosted by Beppe Convertini, and curated its music consultancy together with Efrem Sagrada, Massimo Spinetti and Paolo Chiparo.
The programme is a journey through the wonders of Italy’s seas. The new season airs every Saturday at 11:30 on Rai 1, starting 8 August, and the first episode is dedicated to Cesena and Cesenatico.
Two roles, two different jobs. The theme tune is the show’s sonic signature: the piece that opens every episode and that viewers learn to recognise within a few bars. Music consultancy is the work behind the rest of the soundtrack, choosing the music that carries each segment so that it moves with the pictures and the pace of the edit.
Why a second season matters. A broadcaster bringing back the same theme and the same music team is a vote of confidence in the work. Our thanks go to Rai and to Paolo Chiparo for renewing it, and for another year of travelling the Italian coast in music.
This is the kind of work PA74 does across television, film and advertising: original music written for picture, and a catalogue ready for sync. If you are producing a programme and need a theme or a music partner, write to info@pa74music.com or explore the catalogue at pa74musicpublishing.com.
