Stefano Lentini (born 26 November 1974) is an Italian composer based in Rome. He has extensively composed and produced music for film, television, and theatre, working across a wide range of genres.
His musical journey began with a classical guitar crafted by his grandfather, a carpenter, using wood from old wardrobe doors. Lentini started composing and recording music at an early age. A multi-instrumentalist, he is recognized for his distinctive guitar melodies but also plays piano, bass, drums, flute, lute, and various other instruments. Through multitrack recording, he often performs all instrumental parts on his albums. His compositions frequently incorporate rich string orchestrations, resulting in a symphonic and cinematic sound.
Lentini's television work has been screened in Italy and around the world and includes the TV series Belcanto, The Sea Beyond (seasons 1–5), The Red Door (seasons 1–3), Braccialetti Rossi (seasons 1–3) (International Emmy Kids Awards nominee), El Maestro, Bakhita, and Drawn for Jury Duty. He composed the soundtrack for the feature films Maresia (Premiered at the 2015 Festival des Films du Monde, Montreal), The Nest of the Turtledove (Best Ukrainian Film, Odesa 2016), and Grazing The Wall (Selected at the 69th Venice International Film Festival). He collaborated with Wong Kar-Wai on the soundtrack for The Grandmaster, a film nominated for two Academy Awards, and contributed to the soundtrack of the short film Self 05, produced by Antony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent. His album Stabat Mater was among the iTunes Top 10 Original Score Albums in Belgium, Italy, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. It also reached No.1 in Hong Kong. His soundtrack for The Sea Beyond was awarded two gold records and a double platinum certification. Streaming numbers have exceeded 100 million plays on Spotify and YouTube. Additionally, as a producer and composer, he received three SIAE Awards in 2023 and 2024.
Lentini makes use of a variety of instruments, often playing many of them himself on the same track and writes music in various time signatures. He is considered part of the cross-chamber music genre, but his influences are very broad. Lentini's music often has spiritual themes, and many of his songs draw inspiration from real stories.
Biography
Lentini's first instrument was the guitar, built by his grandfather using wood from the doors of an antique wardrobe. Ever since he was young, he has dedicated himself to the composition and arrangement of music. He made his debut at the Folkstudio, a historic nightclub in Rome. He graduated with high honors in Cultural Anthropology and studied Ethnomusicology in Rome and London.
A multi-instrumentalist, Stefano Lentini is known for his use of unconventional tunes on the guitar, but he also plays electric bass, piano, drums, and several other instruments, often playing all of these on his albums through the use of multitrack recording. While in school, he studied the lute and flute, which he also plays on his albums. This multitude of instruments, including string orchestrations, figures prominently in his compositions, giving his music a symphonic sound.
