Rome is an album written by the American music producer Danger Mouse and the Italian composer Daniele Luppi. The album took five years to make and was inspired by the music from spaghetti westerns.

The album was recorded using vintage equipment and, as well as featuring musicians who recorded spaghetti western soundtracks, also features a reunited Cantori Moderni – the choir put together by Alessandro Alessandroni – which features on the soundtrack to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The album also features vocals by the American singers Jack White on the tracks "The Rose with the Broken Neck", "Two Against One" and "The World", and Norah Jones on the tracks "Season's Trees", "Black" and "Problem Queen". White also chose to provide the lyrics for his three songs.

The song "Black" was featured during the ending of "Face Off", the final episode of Breaking Bad's fourth season. It is also featured in Rome: Three Dreams of Black, an interactive film by Chris Milk. The song "Two Against One" peaked number 20 in Billboard Alternative Songs chart and was featured on the soundtrack for 2 Guns, the 2013 film directed by Baltasar Kormákur. In 2015, the song featured as the song for the advertisement of long-running British soap opera Emmerdale, promoting the show's big Summer Fate storyline.
