Italian music?

Anyone out there know some good, passionate italian love songs? I’m looking for mood-writing music, and my subject happens to be, well, Italian, and, well, a passionate lover. Anyone have any suggestions?

Wow. My threadwriting skills just suck this early in the morning.

“Amarilli, Mia Bella” by Carissimi

Alex Britti had some lovely love songs.

Is opera OK? Then you couldn’t go wrong with Puccini:

–“Che gelida manina,” from La Boheme

–“Bimba dagli occhi pieni di malia” from Madama Butterfly

–“E lucevan le stelle” from Tosca

The first two are love duets. I personally like the Tosca aria the best (very sad but very beautiful).
