Savino's classical education in music was completed at the Royal Conservatory of Naples in not only composition and piano, but also in conducting for which he became famous in the United States working ultimately for Pathe Records, Kapp and RCA in these regards.
Early in his career in the United States, Savino brought to the U.S. the famous silent motion picture star, Rudolph Valentino.
At various times, Savino conducted the CBS Symphony, orchestrated by Paul Whiteman - the famous "Big Band" leader - and Vincent Lopez.
Savino is credited with composing over 2500 published compositions, most of which are classical or semi-classical in nature, and is responsible for adapting "Moonlight Love" from Debussy's Clair de Lune.
Savino, in his later years, recorded substantially with the Rome Symphony Orchestra for the company Thomas J. Valentino Inc., which operates a music library in New York.
