Many years ago, I was playing for the public (al fresco, in the main
plaza in Siena, Italy). I ran through my Francesco, some Gorzanis, and
other stuff. When I finished a set, one of the locals who was listening
intently asked, Very nice, but don't you know any ITALIAN music?
Maybe random
Hi Edward,
Negri and Caroso are excellent sources and should easily keep you covered for
two 30 minute sets. Feel free to play the repeats with a couple of extra
passing tones here and there. All are quite playable, Italian and enjoyable.
Many are quite easy, to boot.
Additionally, there

Edward,
Keep in mind that the food is probably about as authentically Italian as a
