Franco Godi (born 10 June 1940) is an Italian composer, conductor, arranger and record producer.
Born in Milan, Godi grew up in Prato, where he started his musical activity as a member of a band.[1] After working in a local radio station, in 1962 he composed his first jingle for the Bertolli oil, and from then he became the most active composer in the field of commercials and Caroselli in Italy, as to be called "Mr. Jingle".[1]
Godi was also active as a film score composer, particularly in the field of animation, where he had a long collaboration with Bruno Bozzetto, and also composed theme songs for a large number of television programs and series.[1] He is the founder of the record label Best Sound, which produced some of the early hip hop Italian groups, including Articolo 31 and Gemelli Diversi.[2]
