    There are few film composers who have created music as iconic as Ennio Morricone. Some of his most memorable soundtracks were recorded at Forum Studios, the recording studio he co-founded in 1969 alongside Armando Trovajoli, Luis Bacalov and Piero Piccioni.

    When Morricone was there recording his score for the film Once Upon a Time in America, one of the people in the room was a 12-year-old kid named Marco Patrignani.

    “I perfectly remember, as a young boy, running around the studio and experiencing the power of an orchestra, performing the amazing music of Ennio,” he says.

    Patrignani’s parents ran the studio during that time. Now, he’s in charge. As part of our Sense of Place: Rome series, Patrignani gives you a tour of Forum Studios, and he talks about taking care of this special place and all its history.
