Dario Marianelli was born in Pisa, and studied piano and composition in Florence and London.
After a year as a postgraduate composer at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he was also the chairman of the Contemporary Music Society, he received a scholarship from the Gulbenkian Foundation for a course held by Judith Weir and Lloyd Newson at Bretton University College, on the subject of Composition and Choreography. Other scholarships allowed him to go to Germany for a series of workshops on European Film Music, and to spend three years at the National Film and Television School, from which he graduated in 1997.
Dario has worked with a number of different directors on a range of films. These films include Shooting Dogs, V for Vendetta, The Brothers Grimm and The Brave One. He has also worked very closely with the director Joe Wright scoring all of his feature films to date, the most recent being The Soloist staring Jamie Fox and Robert Downey Junior.
He has written orchestral pieces for the BBC Symphony Orchestra and for the Britten-Pears Orchestra, vocal music for the BBC Singers, and incidental music for the Royal Shakespeare Company. He was also commissioned in 2008 to write a piece of music for the new Vertu phone range entitled 'signature' which he recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Dario has won the Oscar, Golden Globe and Ivor Novello in the Best Original Score category for the award winning Working Title film "Atonement", for which he was also BAFTA nominated. He was also nominated for a Classical Brit, in the Soundtrack Of The Year category for Atonement. In 2006 he was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Score category for his music for the BAFTA award winning Working Title feature film "Pride & Prejudice". This score has won him the coveted 'Classical Brit' award in the Soundtrack/Musical Theatre Composer Of The Year category and has also earned him an Ivor Novello Award nomination.
