Piero Umiliani - The Official Website - International Version

Umiliani’s music is still used by directors all over the world, like in Chris Maybach’s art documentaries, in “Playing by Heart” starring Sean Connery, in “Ladri per la Pelle” starring Alec Baldwin and Rebecca De Mornay (where thefts are committed with the beat of "Mah Nà Mah Nà") and lastly in blockbuster “Ocean’s Twelve” where "Crepuscolo sul Mare“ (aka "Dawn on the Sea”), composed in 1968 for “La Legge dei Gangsters”, is the love theme. In 2009 “Mah-Nà Mah-Nà” makes a new comeback for the Walt Disney production “Lilly the Witch: The Dragon and the Magical Book”.
