LACRIMA MOVIES TRILOGY

Digitmovies reissues three Franco Micalizzi’s famous OSTs from “The last snows of

spring" (aka “L’ultima neve di primavera”, "Letze schnee des frühlings", "La ùltima

nieve de primavera", "Les dernières neiges de Printemps", "A ùltima neve da

Primavera"), “The tree with pink leaves” (aka “L’albero dalle foglie rosa”, “La

separación”) and “White horses of summer” (aka “Bianchi cavalli d’agosto”), in a

double CD, complete edition.

THE LAST SNOW OF SPRING

THE SOUNDTRACK

This project has been realized thanks to the collaboration of M° Micalizzi, always

helpful during every phase. We used original albums’ stereo masters and those of

the recording sessions’ in full stereo, very well preserved in RCA archives. RCA

released a LP record (TBL 1-1018) from “The last snows of spring" and a 7-inch

record (OC 42) in Italy, while the album was released in Japan by KING (FML- 42).

We kept all the material previously released in our première CD edition.

DIRECTION AND CAST

Directed by Raimondo Del Balzo in 1973 and starring Bekim Fehmiu, Agostina Belli

and Renato Cestiè.

PLOT

After losing his mother, young Luca cannot bear his father’s new girlfriend and his

attachment to his job. The man takes him skiing but, after a fall, Luca is diagnosed

with Leukemia. He will die in his father’s arms, after telling him that those had been

the most beautiful days of his life.

THE TREE WITH PINK LEAVES

THE SOUNDTRACK

From “The tree with pink leaves” a LP (MDF 33/80) and a 7-inch record (MDF 056)

were released in Italy by Cinevox, the last one was reissued in Spain by RCA

(Cinematres NL 33218). We kept all the material previously released in our première

CD edition.

DIRECTION AND CAST

Directed by Armando Nannuzzi in 1974 and starring John Richardson, Angela

Goodwin, Renato Cestiè, Marisa Merlini, Rina Morelli, Fabrizio Jovine and Carmen

Scarpitta.

PLOT

Young Marco is hurt by his parents’ separation. While running away from home to

avoid boarding school, he gets hit by a car. His parents are in despair, meanwhile

Marco crawls under a tree with pink leaves, that symbolizes the lack of affection,

where he will die.

WHITE HORSES OF SUMMER

THE SOUNDTRACK

From “White horses of summer” we found a 12 tracks selection album montage,

prepared for SP promo series of RCA back in 1975 but never released. RCA only

issued a 7-inch record to which we then added 7 more tracks. We kept all the

material previously released in our première CD edition. With a running time of 140

minutes and 52 tracks, Franco Micalizzi’s music is pure joy for the ears, thanks to

lots of orchestral material that alternates romantic themes with melancholic and

dramatic ones and again with happy and danceable ones. Lounge and latino tracks,

with wonderful solists like Oscar Valdambrini to the flugelhorn, Vincenzo Restuccia to

the drums, Mario Gangi to the guitar, vocal performances by Irio De Paula, Giovanna

Marinuzzi Italian Cinema’s golden uvula Edda Dell’Orso. Born after a long and

passionate work, this double CD has been able to preserve three valuable scores

from Italian Silver Age. Sincere homage to M° Franco Micalizzi’s Music for Cinema.

DIRECTION AND CAST

Directed by Raimondo Del Balzo in 1975 and starring Frederick Stafford, Jean

Seberg, Renato Cestiè, Antonino Faa di Bruno, Alberto Terracina, Ciccio Ingrassia.

PLOT

An american couple in a crisis decides to take little Bunny on a trip to Italy.

Loneliness and sadness make Bunny’s life bitter, whose only friends are his dog

Clipper and Peppino, young servant at the hotel where his is staying with his family.

One day Bunny falls off a cliff, badly wounding himself. This tragic incident will

reunite his parents.
