Starting from the 50s he dedicates himself to film music composition, creating more than 200 soundtracks.

He meets Marco Bellocchio, who asks him to compose the score for "Nel nome del padre" ("In the Name of the Father"). This experience consecrates Piovani as a soundtrack composer and leads him to meet with main italian directors, from Fellini to Monicelli, for whom he writes the score of "Il Marchese del Grillo" ("The Marquis of Grillo"). In 1997 he wins the Academy Award for the soundtrack of "La vita è bella" ("Life is Beautiful") by Roberto Benigni.
