 | WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC ITALIANA Srl | | | Warner Chappell Music Italiana has been leader in the publishing music market both in Italy and in the world, since more than 20 years and has been working in all music areas, from talent search to the training of authors and composers, from management services to special projects. |  | | The repertoire is very wide. It consists of more than 1,500,000 titles, including both compositions owned by Warner Chappell as well as those in administration, both national and international, ranging over all musical genres, from cult music to pop/rock, including original soundtracks of films and television series, as well as dance music. | | | The recent history of the Group has witnessed an important change in 1986 when one of the major American companies, Warner Bros, acquired Intersong Chappell. In 1987, a year later, Warner Chappell Music Italiana emerged (hereafter referred to as WCMI) that in these past years has represented a bench mark for the entire music field. A role which WCMI has undoubtedly earned for its market leadership, but also for its work in searching and exploiting new talents in the sphere of pop music; as well as for the protection and rediscovery of the "classical" musical wealth, also through the acquisition and relaunching of historical international and national catalogues. | | | | Artists of all nationalities and musical pieces of all genres belong to the extensive repertoire of WCMI, including songs composed and/or interpreted by thousands of artists, which has as one of its principal characteristics the large variety, embracing the most diverse epochs and genres. | | | Regarding international music, only as an example, we may cite George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Green Day, Guns N’ Roses, Jarabe de Palo, Pink Floyd, Madonna, R.E.M., Dido, Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Clapton, George Michael, Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, Michael Bublé, Moby. Also in the Italian repertoire sphere the great variety of WCMI publishing catalogue wealth ranges over 360°: Litfiba, Mascheroni, Vasco Rossi, Quartetto Cetra, Piero Pelu', Pino Daniele, Irene Grandi, Nuovi Angeli, Antonello Venditti, Nino D'Angelo, Fabio Concato, Laura Pausini, Gianluca Grignani, Zucchero, Max Pezzali, Nomadi, Cesare Cremonini, Paola Turci, Mango , Syria, Ligabue, Luca Dirisio, Sugarfree, Max De Angelis, Baustelle, Riccardo Maffoni, Nek, Gigi D’Alessio, Anna Tatangelo, Mondo Marcio, Fabri Fibra, just to mention some of the most renowned. The search and promotion of new authors and composers, that WCMI carries out uninterruptedly through its own structure, has also made WCMI a fixed benchmark for many young talents in search of success. | | | WCMI has inside its roster, on an exclusive basis, some of the most important writers in Italy; among which Bungaro, Sergio Vinci, Federica Camba, Andrea Amati, Diego Calvetti, Marco Ciappelli, Francesco Morettini, Luca Angelosanti, Fabrizio Consoli, Gianmarco Martelloni, Gianni Ulivieri. | | | The collaboration with some producers (just to mention some of them: Fish, Vanni G, Diego Calvetti, …) enables WCMI to establish relationships with many artists. | | | WCMI has also closed agreements with many independent Italian labels, among which, Ghost Records ( The Canadians, Hot Gossip, Ronin, ...), Midfinger Records ( Sunday Morning, The Gumo, Mr. Bizzarro & Hightway Experience, ...), Eclectic Circus ( Kama, Paolo Cattaneo, ...), Tre Accordi Records ( The Valentines, The Leeches, ...) . | | | WCMI actively collaborates with independent artists such as Colle Der Fomento, Airway , Your Hero, Thousands Millions, FabioB, Giovanni Ferrario and many others. | | | These relationships enable WCMI to have a great variety of music genres inside its catalogue and work very closely with valid artists, finding together strategies in order to develop their activity. | | | | WCMI has always flanked its search activity with that of acquisitions. Fruit of the constant monitoring work of the market, the engagement to research possible acquisitions has the aim to enrich WCMI wealth with existing catalogues, contracts with new and/or already successful authors, with famous musical pieces whose rights are available. In addition to this, for the purpose of making its presence ever more powerful in the territory, WCMI has started from several years collaborations with important independent companies working in all areas of searching and development of music in our country. | | | The economic and media importance of synchronisation, the use of music and lyrics in the audiovisual products, is ever-increasing. | | | | WCMI plays a leading role in the advertising campaign market, that use music in a varied way and with very particular needs.WCMI is in the position to offer a very wide range of solutions, from the license of songs already published by WCMI, taken from the national and international repertoires, to the music composed ad hoc on the basis of the according to the individual communication needs case by case. | | | WCMI has also in this area a leadership role on the market producing soundtracks for films, telefilms, television series, documentaries and animated cartoons. Equally important is the publicity market, which makes considerable use of music, with very particular needs. In this case WCMI is able to offer a most vast range of solutions, from the licensing of renowned music pieces obtained from national and international repertoires, to the creation of music composed ad hoc. | | WCMI has also in this area a leadership role on the market producing soundtracks for films, telefilms, television series, documentaries and animated cartoons.

The latter, in particular, has in the past years become a very complex activity, due also to the market evolution, the birth of new media and new channels (like Internet and telephone market) and the new possibilities for the use of texts and music. Even the methods and parameters for the protection of the authors' rights are thus going through a phase of deep change which requires new techniques and methods. |
