University of Bologna .
In the late 1990s, he began to compose film scores and in 1999 he won the Cam/Rota Prize.

For Muccino, Paolo Buonvino wrote the scores for some of the movies that would not only become colossal hits at the Italian box-office but generational phenomena, considered modern classics:
