I was hoping to get some ideas or suggestions from you, dear users, about the song I mentioned. Sadly, no one shared any opinion, not even whether it's from an Italian or French movie. I still hope someone might recognize it and share their thoughts. Any help would be really appreciated!

Dear stepan I want to sincerely thank you. You did me a huge favor by finding the music I had been searching for over many years. You truly discovered it for me, and that means so much.
You're the best friend I’ve come across in the topic, and I really appreciate your kindness and effort. I wish you all the success in the world.

Dear Stefan,
I want to sincerely thank you. You did me a huge favor by finding the music I had been searching for over many years. What’s even more amazing is that none of my expert friends were able to identify it — and yet you did! It turned out to be from that film, and I never would’ve found it without you.

Dear Stefan, I couldn’t find a full version of the album because it’s not accessible here. Also, I’m currently in Iran. Do you happen to have a version you could send me, or could you share a link where I can download the album?

Of course it is currently not possible to find all the tracks of the LP album on any website. However, if you can give me your e-mail address, it is no problem for me to send you mp3 files of the complete album via WeTransfer.
The two tracks which you have been looking for and which have been used (at least partly) in that 1977 Iranian film SALAM TEHRAN are A 4 (Angela Tema Nr. 1) and B 6 (Angela Tema Nr. 3) on the LP. So they have been taken directly from that 1973 LP which only few people among soundtrack collectors outside of Italy may know at all.
Sorry, there was a small mistake in what I had written in my first post above: The mafia movie SGARRO ALLA CAMORRA was of course not set in Sicily, but in Sorrent near Naples and therefore also the music has some kind of Neapolitan flavour with guitars and mandolins. It was the first film of the Neapolitan singer and actor Mario Merola who later on made some more such "musical-crime" films and was extremely popular in that area of South Italy during the 70s and early 80s. Besides the instumental tracks written by Antonio Esposito also 5 songs sung by Mario Merola can therefore be heard on the LP (and they also appear in the film itself): A 3 (CIelo e Mare), A 5 (A Camorra), B 2 (Giuramento), B 4 (O Mo Amico) and B 5 (Curtiello Cu Curtiello)
By the way, I have noticed that even a famous piece by Morricone has been tracked into that Iranian film SALAM TEHRAN if you have a listen from minute 1:07:15 onwards: There appears the main theme "Canzone Lontana" from LE SERPENT from 1973 which quite certainly has also been taken from the soundtrack LP.

Dear Stefan, Thank you so much! Yes, the entire film uses works from Italian and French cinema. Here is my email address in case you’d like to send it to me: [your email] erkzalmanoz@gmail.com I really appreciate it, my dear friend!

Dear Stefan, Thank you so much for your great kindness. I will never forget it. I’m truly happy and proud to have your friendship. I’ll stay in touch with you through your email.

Dear Stefan, I sent you an email regarding an Italian piece of music I had a question about. Could you please check it when you get a chance? Thank you so much!
Truly remarkable Stefan ! Who else but you would have been able to identify such obscure pieces ? Stefan is the man of desperate situations, no doubt. Out of curiosity, I had a look on SoundtrackCollector and could see that SGARRO ALLA CAMORRA is the only score credited to Antonio Esposito, a composer I never heard of before.

Dear Stefan,
You were truly a genius in this discovery — I honestly feel indebted to you. You did me a huge favor, and I deeply appreciate it.
You're an exceptional friend, a remarkable human being, and someone truly valuable. I sincerely wish you nothing but the very best in life.
Laurent and zalmanoz: Many thanks for all the praise you have heaped on me, but in this particular case it was also a bit of a coincidence. I had screened the SGARRO ALLA CAMORRA film around 1980 here in our local cinema in the original Italian version - for all the Italian immigrants who had come mainly from the South of Italy to Germany during the 60s and 70s - and therefore immediately noticed the music which was a really lovely surprise for me as I also didn´t know the name of the composer Antonio Esposito at that time. The LP was impossible to get during the early 80s here in Germany, but over the years I received an LP transfer so that I have become quite familiar with the main theme of the score - probably better than some other people on this board who have never heard of score, movie or composer during all of their lifetime. As I said: It was a bit of a nice coincidence that someone just searched for this otherwise rare and totally obscure Italian score.

That's interesting. The theme was vaguely familiar because I own this LP but didn't listen to it much so didn't make the connection at all.
Note that there is another Antonio Esposito, better known as Tony Esposito, who composed film scores in the 1980s, but they are not the same person at all according to Discogs.

Yes, these two composers actually have nothing do do with each other. Antonio Esposito´s real name was Tonino Esposito, he was born in 1933 and passed away in 2008. Here is a black and white picture of him: http://www.quicampania.it/musica/tonino-esposito.html
Not much info beside this article can be found about him and there are still some sources (even the IMDB) which wrongly mix up Antonio with the much later born Tony Esposito, but apparently he was a true Neapolitan artist and very attached to traditional Neapolitan music. Of course you can also hear this in his SGARRO ALLA CAMORRA score.
