"The House With Laughing Windows" (Italian title: La Casa Dalle Finestre Che Ridono) is a 1976 Italian giallo film 

co-written and directed by Pupi Avati, also known to horror film fans for his movie "Zeder" (1983).
The movie was nominated for the International Fantasy Film Award for Best Film at Fantasporto 

and since then has become a cult classic.
Italian jazz pianist Amedeo Tommasi was the composer of the soundtrack that has never released officially.
Thought one the most talented pianist of his generation, Tommasi came to light in 1960, 

during a radio transmission entitled "La Coppa Di Jazz".
Before dedicating himself to modern jazz, he used to play the trombone in the Dixieland "Panigal Jazz Band" of Bologna.
In the late sixties, Tommasi began composing film music and after some minor films, 

he collaborated for about 10 years with the director Pupi Avati, writing the music of many of his films.
Also for over 20 years Tommasi collaborated with Ennio Morricone providing electronic sound material for his films, 

and subsequently worked with him on the music of Giuseppe Tornatore's "The Legend Of 1900".
For this film, Tommasi composed 8 songs, including the famous "Magic Waltz" and "Danny's Blues", 

and appeared in a small cameo as a piano tuner.
Amedeo Tommasi began his teaching career with the teaching of Jazz harmony at the St. Louis music school in Rome.
In 2010 he participated in the documentary film "Pupi Avati, Yesterday Today Tomorrow" by Claudio Costa , 

dedicated to the director who launched him as a film composer.
