Filmography

I've inserted in a filmography. I've taken it from the Italian wikipedia entry. Some translation and alternate titles still necessary. 10:31, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I fixed most of the mistakes in the filmography so the links should lead to the intended pages, but there might be a few left to fix. - 141.224.232.207 04:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are still many things to fix. Many titles are neither the original titles nor the English titles. In the English wikipedia, the English titles should appear (IMHO) but also the original title (IMHO again). --I AM FAMOUSLY ANONYMOUS le huit mars deux mille sept à quatorze heures trente trois (French time zone).

This needs to take from the Italian wikipedia entry. Most film composers who composed concert music have concert works listed on their Wikipedia page. I've directly taken this from http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nino_Rota and tried to translate the subtitles as best as I could (I can't speak Italian). It'd be nice if someone transplanted the filmography and changed Italian titles to English titles for English language films. The filmography section, like the biography section, here is weak. For some reason, much (all?) of his choral music (Mysterium, La Vita di Maria, Roma Capomunni, etc) are missing.

I added in the filmography myself, and have amended original language titles and IMDB's aka's for the 1940s section of the filmography... will work on the rest at a later time. Finished. Might edit out some unneeded alternative titles, many titles look too long?

I think Mafioso, Paranoia and Giovani mariti are erroneous attributions (even on IMDB), but won't edit them out without confirmation. I did explore both Mafioso and Paranoia at one point but never saw the credits. I saw Giovani mariti (or another one with 'husbands' in the title) on TV and not only did it not mention Rota, but the music was not very Rota like at all. Why is it that Rota is so neglected on Wikipedia?

I'm kind of addicted. I added in the quotes section, but just enough to get a 'feel' of the man. I'm also slowly creating a discography (mostly CD). I've got it: {title} ({date released, not recorded}), {label code}. In small text underneath will be notes about the contents of each CD as concise as possible. I hope to work on it in the coming days, I have >100 Nino Rota CDs in my own collection and most deserve to be mentioned.

Opera News

Opera News just published this interesting artucle on Rota's film scores. It would make an excellent ref to help improve this article.4meter4 (talk) 14:08, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life, work habits, relationships, sexuality, correspondence

Cursory internet searches have been unfruitful for finding details about Nino Rota's personal or romantic life, his work and composition habits, or any correspondence he maintained during his life. Any information would be appreciated!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElicitLiberty (talk • contribs) 18:16, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Profile image

A picture of Rota at age 12 for the primary profile photo?

Why not use a photo of Rota as an adult? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.91.136 (talk) 10:41, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rinaldi?

Why does it only say in the infobox that his last name was Rinaldi? Is this a joke? –– ♫ Mara/Freya ♫ 14:06, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to remove Rinaldi from his name but someone changed it back again. Rinaldi was his grandfather's name and so it may have been used at some point, but he was born a Rota. --Nina Rota Nrota999 (talk) 17:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
