His first soundtrack was the spaghetti western "El Precio de un Hombre"/"The Bounty Killer" (1966) followed by a well known score for "Un Uomo, uno caballo, una pistola"/"The Stranger Returns"/"Shoot First Laugh Last" (1967) starring Tony Anthony (actor); Cipriani later composed other spaghetti western scores with Anthony.

Cipriani became prolific in the Italian film world and was awarded a Nastro d'Argento Best Score for "The Anonymous Venetian (film)" (1970).

In a 2007 interview, Cipriani said that he had composed music for Pope John Paul II and was currently working with Pope Benedict XVI.
