That’s Amore Music: A Taste of the Beautiful Sounds of Italy
Founded in 2012 by Italian composers Daniele Benati, also known as “Bengi,” and Fabio di Bari, That’s Amore Music set out with a simple ambition: to capture the unmistakable sound of Italy and share it with the world. The company describes itself as “the first catalogue of Italian music entirely realized and produced by Italians,” and its mission is as clear as its name, celebrating the sights, sounds, and spirit of the Bel Paese through music.
At its core, That’s Amore Music is a production-music library dedicated to all things Italian. Its catalogue draws inspiration from the country’s culture, art, and cinematic heritage, from the hum of a Vespa on a cobblestone street to the sparkle of the Amalfi Coast. Every album in the collection evokes a different shade of Italian life, offering composers’ interpretations of the nation’s rich cultural identity.
The library’s themed releases, such as Italian Landscapes, Italo Jazz, Pizza Party, New Dramedy Italia, and Italian Classic Remake, cover a wide stylistic range. There are jazzy retro numbers reminiscent of 1960s film soundtracks, whimsical pieces suited for light entertainment, and sweeping cinematic cues ideal for travel documentaries and advertising. Authenticity is a guiding principle: all tracks are composed, arranged, and produced in Italy, often using traditional instruments and regional styles.
What sets That’s Amore Music apart is its commitment to authentic identity in an increasingly globalized production-music market. While many libraries offer generic “European” or “Mediterranean” cues, this imprint focuses exclusively on the Italian aesthetic. That authenticity makes it a go-to resource for filmmakers, advertisers, and digital creators looking to capture the atmosphere of Italian culture, espresso bars, vintage scooters, seaside villages, and all.
The founders’ backgrounds in Italian pop and jazz lend the catalogue a professional polish. Benati, known for his work as frontman of the funk-pop band Ridillo, brings a vibrant, soulful touch to the label’s productions. Di Bari complements that energy with a cinematic sensibility rooted in years of experience composing for film and television. Together, they have built a catalogue that balances craft and character, nostalgia, and modernity.
From its base in Italy, That’s Amore Music licenses its works for film, television, commercials, and digital media worldwide. Its catalogue is particularly suited for projects in travel, fashion, and lifestyle industries, fields where the Italian touch conveys instant emotion and elegance.
Ultimately, That’s Amore Music stands as more than a collection of tracks; it is a portrait of a nation set in melody. Each cue, from swinging jazz to cinematic orchestral, reflects a moment in Italian life. Whether underscoring a luxury-brand campaign or a travel documentary, its music doesn’t just go with the image, it tells the story of Italy itself.
