Love In Italiano


The songs cleverly take the listener through the moods, trials and tribulations of an Italian man’s journey through love, without explanation and without apologizes. So like an Italian. For example, when an Italian man wants to dance with a woman, he does not ask for permission, he simply offers his hand and once accepted leads the woman onto the dance floor. In the same spirit the songs vary from frivolous "dance with me" exclamations as in Dimmi, Dimmi, Dimmi, to "I don’t know how I ever lived without you" sentiments in the English and Italian version of And I Love You So.

Not without their faults you will hear the pleas for forgiveness by a man who didn’t mean to have a woman fall in love with him in Amore Scusami (My Love Forgive Me) and the laments of another who has lost his love in Guarda Che Luna. On a happier note, experience the yearnings of one who recites what he will do to please the woman he loves including singing to her about Love In Italiano, if that would make her happy. Then hear about one who anxiously awaits his next rendezvous professing I Can‘t Wait to see you again. Incidentally, these later two songs as well as the first song on the CD are Filippo’s originals, words and music.

Finally, true to the Italian man’s sense of humor and fun you will find yourself dancing to an upbeat remake of the Rosemary Clooney hit Mambo Italiano, and a New Orleans Street Jazz Festival version of
L O V E sung as a duet with famed actress and singer Ms. Marion Ramsey.
