He is the bass guitar player for the Italian progressive rock band Goblin.
Goblin provided soundtracks for several horror films, most famously Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977) and George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978).
Because of Pignatelli's operation of a band with the name, they were credited as Simonetti-Pignatelli-Morante for the film, Tenebrae, because the other band members (most importantly, Maurizio Guarini and Carlo Pennisi), most of whom had also worked with Simonetti and/or Morante, were not involved.
In 2013 he played bass guitar on "Backlit" track from Simulakrum Lab album, vintage synthesizers music project created by Paolo Prevosto.
