Italy's foreign minister Luigi Di Maio paid tribute to late Italian composer, classic musician and conductor Ezio Bosso, who died at home on Friday from a neurodegenerative disease at the age of 48.
"We all have something to learn from maestro Ezio Bosso. His music and his strength will stay with us. Good bye Maestro," Di Maio tweeted.
Bosso, a musical child prodigy from the northern Italian city of Bologna first played in rock band Statuto but later abandoned pop and become a conductor and award-winning classical composer.
Bosso's compositions have appeared in various films, performance art and theatrical productions.
