Sounds of Italy

From opera to classical, regional folk to popular music, the range of the Italians is limitless! (if it doesn't exist - they develop it, i.e. opera, symphony, and concerto.) Instrumental and vocal classical music is an iconic part of the Italian identity and as such should be heard throughout any dinner with ties to "the boot"!
