Adua e le Compagne. Piero Piccioni

In 1958, the Merlin law made brothels illegal in Italy. Adua (Simone Signoret), Lolita (Sandra Milo), Marilina (Emmanuelle Riva) and Millie (Gina Rovere) are four prostitutes whose brothel in Rome is shut down. Under Adua's leadership, they pool their savings, two million lire apiece, to open a restaurant on the outskirts, which will be a cover for an illegal brothel. They rent a run-down building and hire workmen to fix it up but, when they apply for a permit to open the restaurant, their application is rejected because of their history of prostitution. One of Adua's former customers, Ercoli (Claudio Gora), agrees to buy the building and use his connections to get the permit in his name, in return for a rent of one million lire a month. Born in 1921, the son of an eminent judge, soundtrack composer Piero Piccioni followed his father's footsteps and practised as a lawyer before abandoning the legal profession to pursue a career in music. A highly skilled pianist and organist, he played regularly for friends in the Italian film world and it was director Michelangelo Antonioni who first suggested he try to compose for the big screen. In this score, Piero Piccioni's jazz is the master, a constant counterpoint to the story even in its most excruciating moments. A precise relationship of collision between image and music that would characterize much of Pietrangeli's later cinema and which emerges as one of the many expressive stratagems used by the author to reveal the nature of a national genre to himself.
