Romantic/Sentimental Italian Music

How being “Italian” Sounds like.

I was extremely lucky to born in Italy. Precisely I am from Naples, the city where Pizza was born.

You can describe it in three words: Sun, Sea, and Mediterranean food.

Music is one of the most important aspects of our culture, and the Neapolitan music (canzone Napoletana) is one of the most famous music in the world, a combination of folk, popular and theatrical styles.

Today I want to show you how being an Italian sound like with this sentimental Italian music arrangement on fingerstyle guitar.

Each Italian region has different traditions and music styles, so I am mainly referring to “Southern” Italian music.

In this arrangement, I combined different techniques, such as classical arpeggios, tremolo, and minor melodies.

The classical arpeggios are typical of classical Italian composers/guitarists such as Mauro Giuliani and Ferdinando Carulli, while the tremolo should emulate the sound of a typical Neapolitan instrument called “Mandolino.”

I hope you enjoy this romantic/sentimental Italian music, guys.

Have a super day!
