Does anyone know anything about this composer?  I found this piece on the art music forum downloads and it seems to me to be very much in our realm of romanticism......

Arrigo Pedrollo: I Castelli di Remeo e Giuletta
Symphonic Legend for Piano and Orchestra (1959)

Anyone???

Hard to believe it was written in the 60s
