Listening to Italian Music
April 8th, 2007
The music most associated with Italy is opera, the tradition growing from the late 1500s and contributing greatly to the rest of Europe. Other Italian music is important to its people too, such as classical instrumental music and folk music. Italians are descended from many ethnic roots and immigration has brought its own influences. The country imported a mix of jazz, pop and rock during the 20th century, whilst retaining a passion for its own homegrown culture.
