Just recently borrowed "Rome Adventure" from the library. Absolutely horrible plot, acting, dialogue and directing. In spite of that I enjoyed it immensely, then went to Rome.
Another movie song that brings an Italian fix..... the music from "lady and a Tramp" while the two "lovers" eat spaghetti outside the italian restaurant.

I just realized that way up above I misspelled the name of my beloved Carlo Bergonzi. Shame on me and my lousy typing.

I know Doug..The movie was so so, but the music and the sceneries were great..

I had Andrea Bocelli on the CD player tonight -- he took me right back (we listened to "Romanza" as we drove down the Amalfi Coast 2 years ago).

Please. Somebody tell me about Claudio Villa (or Vila).

San Remo CDs (from the Italian song festival). I just got San Remo 2004 with various artists from Amazon. It was $25, but very different from the usual stuff. I also vote for Opera. If you don't already own any, try The #1 Opera Album as a good sampler.

Andrea Bocelli-Romanza...that's his best I think...I just LOVE that CD. I did get his Ave Marias and play it a lot during the Christmas season..very beautiful.

Dog_Mother, I just read this thread again for the first time since I posted and saw your request to me for CD Titles.

I am so sorry that I had not returned to this thread until today and consequently did not see your post until right now.

I can't today but of course I will be happy to give you titles. In fact my daughter & SIL have even newer ones that I will get names of for you and anyone else that is interested.

Again my apologies, I sure wasn't ignoring you. Take care.

Treesa

Maria Callas in Cavalleria Rusticana, Tosca, Aida, Norma, etc. Goose pimples time.

For today's music I like Eros Ramazzzoti)Sp?) and crazzy over my new discovery of Paolo Conte.

Dominic Chianese, of Soprano's fame, has a recent CD called "Ungrateful Heart". The CD includes Italian standard love songs as well as songs about the loss of love, kind of like Italian blues.

My mother's Sergio Franchi and
Jerry Vale albums.
Also, Buddy Greco and his cartoon counterpart from Rocco's Modern Life- Buddy Gekko.

Andrea Bocelli. His singing is from his heart: So, pure and so honest. Everytime I listen to one of his songs it is like the very first time I heard it, and I never tire of his music.

Calamari

St.Cirq! Wow! You like Marcella Bella? I have loved her music for 20 years. My Italian family just laugh at me, but I think she is amazing...mare blu ezmeraldo!!!!!

Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavrotti - I listen to them daily in my car, driving back and forth to work.

Franco Corelli....any time, any place. From "O Holy Night" to "Nessun Dorma." A singer from Le Marche.

Ligabue "Giro d'Italia" (3 c.d. set). In particular, Piccola Stella Senza Cielo which was a hit and all over the music channels when we were there last (November of 2003). A beautiful song and lovely accompanying scenes of Venice on the video.

Lightblues

I like Sinatra or Andrea Boccelli.

"Souvenir de Florence" by Tchaikhovsky. It takes a Russian to really "get" Italy.

For my fix, I play the soundtrack from "Cinema Paradiso" - works every time.

I also listen to Georgia and Eros
