RESPIRANO is an international film sound company with headquarters and facilities in New York City and Rome.
It is actually a joint venture between three artists located on both sides of the ocean.
A special trio trained in Cinecittà and raised among the Italian classic Maestros of sound. Luigi Porto (sound artist, composer, sound mixer), Stefano Di Fiore (sound designer, sound editor, re-recording mixer), Marco Ciorba (foley artist) work with their respective teams in US and Italy. Together, they are RESPIRANO SOUND.
RESPIRANO in its current form started as one of Luigi’s personal dreams.
After working in Rome for many years as a composer and sound designer, Luigi moved to New York City in 2012. Here he kept collaborating with his long time partners, and when the technology was advanced enough to allow to work flawlessly remotely, he started joining energies again, working with a team he had known for decades and avoiding his clients the clog (and the sometimes ridiculous expenses) of facilities in other parts of the globe, while keeping an extremely high professional quality and a real artist’s touch.
What is most important we offer the real Italian taste, the artistry and the craft of the tradition of classic Italian sound. Since you are here, you probably know what we’re talking about.
