TO LEARN ITALIAN THROUGH SINGING

Singing songs is an excellent tool to learn a language. It helps to build up both vocabulary and expressions in an easy and relaxed manner.Toto Cutugno is a great singer and composer born in Fosdinovo (Tuscany) to a Sicilian father and a Tuscan mother. He has many great songs, but "L'o" is a particularly famous one and easy to learn. Enjoy!

Assolutamente no!!! It does not.Have you seen all the vids and pics of him on You Tube? He was bellissimo and his music has stood the test of time I think. When I listen to his music I can imagine I am back in Italy instead of in my back garden in Dublin.How sad amI?(this post is re the statue in case of confusion)

Hi, Patrizia,Yes I am working my way thru the many video clips on the internet. It’s a pity that we can’t at present buy full DVDs of his performances, with better picture and sound quality.I will be moving to Italy in about two year’s time. So intend visiting Poggio Bustone. Which from the pic’s I have seen on the web, is a stunning hilltop village. And of course get a photo of me next to that awful statue of him

Ciao patrizia,No I did not know about the tribute band. I will put it down on my list of things that I must see or do before I die. Yes I have the triple CD, I call it the horse CD In fact I have just about everything he has recorded. The one that I don't have, is Images which he recorded in English The place where I am going to live in Italy is preordained by family connections. It is a small village called Filignano, situated between Rome and Naples, in the mountains. it is the original place of the family of Mario Lanza before they moved to America. We have a Mario Lanza festival every August. To be honest not my type of thing. I wonder if they have a Lucio Battisti festival in Poggio Bustone or Rome
