FRANCO MICALIZZI compositore, arrangiatore e direttore d'orchestra, vive e lavora a Roma, sua città natale. Nel 1970 riceve l'incarico di comporre la sua prima colonna sonora, il film è "LO CHIAMAVANO TRINITA" diretto da E.B. CLUCHER, con Terence Hill e Bud Spencer.

Nel 1975 e poi nel 1978 MICALIZZI si reca negli Stati Uniti dove compone e registra le colonne sonore di: "BEHIND THE DOOR" (titolo italiano: CHI SEI?) e "THE VISITOR" (titolo italiano: STRIDULUM). Tra le Colonne Sonore da lui composte ricordiamo, inoltre altri due successi: "NATI CON LA CAMICIA" e "NON C'E' DUE SENZA QUATTRO" entrambi diretti da E.B. Clucher con Terence Hill e Bud Spencer, ed ancora il film di produzione americana: "THE CURSE" (La Maledizione) - diretto da David Keith con Claude Akins, Will Wheaton and John Schneider.
