In the 60’s and 70’s, the collaboration between Umiliani and RAI TV goes beyond his participation as conductor or host in TV shows like Il Mattatore, Moderato Swing and Fuori l’Orchestra.
Besides documentaries, which here have a dedicated section, Umiliani signs the tunes for all kinds of TV programs.
Current affairs programs like Sapere, cult shows like Specchio Segreto, commercial breaks, telefilms, musicals and sport programs in particular are all tied to Umiliani’s name.
In 1963, Giampiero Boniperti, retired from soccer, hosts the sport program Il Gioco del Calcio which teaches American football to viewers, directed by Bruno Beneck. The signature tune is “Dribbling” which a few years later, in 1968, is also used in the program Domenica Sportiva.
For another memorable program on soccer titled 90° Minuto, Umiliani composes the theme “Discomania” (originally recorded in 1978) and used in the end credits from 1981 until 1987, another example of the longevity of the Maestro’s music.
From year 2000 the Tv productions select many tracks of the Maestro for their serials.
