[@fabrizio.guidi64]

Hans Zimmer's mentor is Ennio Morricone. Hans Zimmer decided to dedicate himself to music after seeing Once Upon a Time in the West when he was 12 years old, so Hans Zimmer represents the continuity of Morricone's work. In several of his films he has included a dedication to Morricone's music such as in the soundtrack of "Dune".
