TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians. (en.wikipedia.org)

Ennio Morricone

Lets also not forget Morricone's friend and collaborator Bruno Nicolai.

He was every bit as influential to the spaghetti western and Italian movie scene.

He was (sadly passed away) a genius in the movie industry! More that 400 movies (including Hateful 8, where Tarantino finally managed to have his original score - and won an Oscar).
