I'm relatively new to Italian music apart from years of Italian opera. This girl is great.

Ooops Lombardy section!!! No problem it was filmed in a Milan TV studio

I suppose the enlightened know she doesn't belong in this thread - ma credami se puoi - questo canzone e' un capolavoro. :yes:

What do you make of this part Carole? Do you think he was right?

"Mi scusi Presidente ma forse noi italiani per gli altri siamo solo spaghetti e mandolini."

To put it all back on track - with folklore as opposed to 'pop' here is another Milanese classic which does (sort of) pay homage to Napoli!!!

And you are quite right 'jc' - 'Vivimi' IS among the classics of modern day music...

Sorry Carol I went on the thread's title and I was unable to translate anything thereafter.

I think that was his cynicism showing - on how he felt much of the rest of the world saw Italians and their lifestyle back in the 'dopo guerra' and into the 60's!

Gaber was at best a wonderful interpreter of song and folklore - and at worst (?) an extreme radical! But he had a way (as does Celentano) of expressing what the man in the street often thought...

Sally - I'm not elitist - especially when it comes to music - but when you don't know un cazzo about anything within a particular thread, why don't you stai'zitto and learn instead of ruining threads with your irritating, relentless nit picking?

Think glass houses and boulders.
