The result was Sophia Loren in Rome, a television special where Loren gives the viewer a guided tour of Rome taking in such locales as the Trevi fountain, the Colosseum, the narrow streets of the city and the surrounding countryside where she is accompanied by fellow Italian film star Marcello Mastroianni.

For the Sophia Loren in Rome soundtrack, John Barry was once again asked to compose the score, but Loren was somewhat dubious about having an Englishman capture the true essense of her beloved Rome.

After spending several days in the Italian capital, Barry returned to London and composed and recorded one track - The Secrets of Rome. The track was then played to Loren without actually telling her who had written the music. Needles to say, she loved it, adding that "he must have Italian blood in him".

This CD has a running time of 35 mins.
