Bruno Canfora (Born November 6,1924 in Milan, passed away August 6, 2017 in Tavernelle, Perugia) was an Italian composer, conductor, and arranger. He studied piano at an early age, then oboe at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milano. During World War II, he played with his group in Trieste. After the war, he moved to Turin, becoming conductor of the Castellino Danze Orchestra. Besides having composed scores for television programs and films, Canfora is known for his work in pop music, particularly for his collaboration with Mina. He also composed songs for Rita Pavone, Ornella Vanoni, Shirley Bassey ('This is my life'), and the Kessler Twins. Resident conductor at RAI Television for decades, Canfora was the musical director of the 1961 San Remo Song Festival and the 1991 Eurovision Song Contest.
