Anyhow, I decided to see if there were any well known Italian orchestra 
leaders, orchestrators or arrangers charting this kind of sound, just to 
justify and bolster my odd sense of humor.

Nope. Without the originator (Annunzio Mantovanni - and the "cascading 
strings" sound was actually invented by orchestrator Ronnie Binge!) 
there's not a one. I take that back, Don Costa was also Italian. I am 
less sure about various other orchestrator/arrangers.
