The story behind

The musical piece Proiezione a due, with its duration of 2 minutes and 8 seconds, evokes the atmosphere of a story unfolding through memories. Composed by Ennio Morricone, this melody accompanies the narrative of Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, a film that explores the life of Salvatore, a successful filmmaker but with an inner void, who returns to his hometown after the news of the death of Alfredo, the projectionist who was his guide. The music, under the production of Enrico De Melis, becomes a vehicle for reliving Salvatore's childhood and youth, connecting the listener with the emotions and settings of his past.

This collaboration marked the first time Ennio Morricone worked with director Giuseppe Tornatore on the film Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, released in 1988. The film, a co-production involving several companies such as Cristaldifilm and Les Films Ariane, along with Rai 3, TF1 Films Production, and Forum Picture, brought together a cast that included actors like Philippe Noiret and Salvatore Cascio. Morricone's soundtrack, who was born in Rome in 1928, adds to his extensive catalog of over 500 compositions for film and television, including notable works for the Spaghetti Western genre alongside Sergio Leone.
