The subject is the life and music of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (ca.1525-1594), a famous Italian Renaissance composer of sacred music. He is the best-known 16th-century composer of the Roman School. Filmed in March 2009 on locations mainly in and around L'Aquila and Rome, most of the ancient buildings and historical interiors in the city of L'Aquila were destroyed by the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake, only a few days after the end of shooting. Palestrina’s music in the film is directed by Flavio Colusso and the Roman Ensemble Seicentonovecento. The film was also titled The Liberation of Music or Die Befreiung der Musik when released in Germany. ## Credits - **Director:** [Georg Brintrup](https://cinepixo.com/people/georg-brintrup) - **Screenplay:** [Georg Brintrup](https://cinepixo.com/people/georg-brintrup) - **Editor:** [Georg Brintrup](https://cinepixo.com/people/georg-brintrup) - **Original Music Composer:** [Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina](https://cinepixo.com/people/giovanni-pierluigi-da-palestrina) ## Cast - [Giorgio Colangeli](https://cinepixo.com/people/giorgio-colangeli) - [Stefano Oppedisano](https://cinepixo.com/people/stefano-oppedisano) - [Remo Remotti](https://cinepixo.com/people/remo-remotti) - [Renato Scarpa](https://cinepixo.com/people/renato-scarpa) - [Franco Nero](https://cinepixo.com/people/franco-nero) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
