Er, I think you got some things mixed up here. Giacomo Puccini is an Italian opera composer. I think Serpico plays his opera once in the garden and once in the car, that's all. All the score is by Theodorakis, as far as I know, and I think, it's not that bad aside from that shoe shop scene and a similar (or the same?) theme at the beginning, when they got their certificates, which are both meant to sound some kind of italian - to show his background, I suppose. Well, that wasn't necessary. But as said aside from that it's a typical, okay 70s jazz score; nothing special, but ok. And there is not that much music anyway.
and @ theevilmonkeycmp3: the core story (without the police school, the first arrest etc)- like 95% of the movie - takes only some years, not 10 to 15. I think maybe 3,4 years.
