==Biography== Matteo Zingales was born on 28 October 1980 in [[Rome]] and raised in Sydney. He graduated in 2004 from the [[Australian Film, Television and Radio School]] with a Masters in Screen Composition. Zingales has cited [[Thomas Newman]], [[John Barry (composer)|John Barry]] and [[Arvo Pärt]] as his most important musical influences. "When I was nine," he recalls, "I adored movies. I wanted to be a director and then I realised what actually moved me was the music. I just used to sit down at the piano and write".<ref name="Chipperfield"/>
He has worked across a variety of music platforms. His television credits include the music for over 200 episodes of the series, ''[[All Saints (TV series)|All Saints]]'' (2004–2009), broadcast in fifteen countries, and for all 22 episodes of the first series of ''[[Winners & Losers]]'' (2011), broadcast in four countries.
He has composed the music for feature films, including collaborating on ''[[The Hunter (2011 Australian film)|The Hunter]]'' (2011), which starred [[Willem Dafoe]] and [[Sam Neill]], and on ''[[Not Suitable for Children]]'' (2012), which was directed by Peter Templeman and starred [[Ryan Kwanten]] (''[[True Blood]]'') and [[Sarah Snook]]; for television mini-series including the ABC's ''[[Devil's Dust]]'' (2012), one of the six parts of the ABC's ''[[Redfern Now]]'' (2012), and SBS's ''[[Better Man (miniseries)|Better Man]]'' (2013); and for short films, such as ''Blue Poles'' (2004), starring [[Sam Worthington]]. His documentary credits include ''Lachlan Macquarie: The Father of Australia'' (2011) for [[BBC Scotland]] and [[History (UK TV channel)|The History Channel]]; and he has composed music for television advertisements.
In February 2008 the ''[[Sydney Morning Herald]]''{{'}}s Mark Chipperfield included Zingales as one of Australia's top thirteen "new talents breaking ground in their chosen fields".<ref name="Chipperfield">{{cite news | first = Mark | last = Chipperfield | title = People to Watch | work = The Sydney Magazine.
