Renato Angiolini

Renato Angiolini (Gallarate, 9 November 1923 – Milan, 3 February 1985) was an Italian songwriter and pianist.

He is best known as the composer for songs by Tony Renis, Massimo Ranieri, I Giganti, and Lucio Battisti.

Many of his works are uncredited and therefore largely untraceable. However, he was frequently credited as Toang, which is a name derived from the last two letters of his first name and the first three of his last name.

Angiolini produced or co-produced a number of films, starting with the 1963 Italian comedy film I cuori infranti, which he co-produced with Renato Jaboni.
