Hi. I would rename the thread to include "Italian vintage" since there already are a couple of old Italian songs on the forum - just to make it easy to search an find them.
Cheers, and thanks.

This is an Elisa pop song:

The true name of this song by Modugno is "nel blu dipinto di blu" and not "volare".
The song by Piovani for the Benigni movie "La Vita č Bella".
Beautiful That Way - Nicola Piovani
Someone put English words to it - that's why it has an English name...
Janis, I'd rename the thread into "italian modern" or similar, just to keep things tidy... You have to do it because you started it.

P.S.: "frac" is the correct name of the dress, not "frack", and thus it was titled.
Vecchio Frac - Domenico Modugno
Hello.
Famous Italian song by Maurizio Fabrizio, words by Bruno Lauzi.
Almeno Tu Nell'Universo - Maurizio Fabrizio
"More" is the musical theme of the undistinguished 1962 Italian film Mondo Cane. It was very popular with adult audiences in the 1960s; I played it at virtually every gig I did back then. It is a piece of very limited musical interest with 5 8-measure sections (AABAB'). The harmonic content is mostly I-vi-ii-V. Why do I post this arrangement? Because if you play for Senior Citizens, as I do, you should play this tune for them, tipping your hat to their memories of half-a-century ago.
A lead sheet for "More" can be found in a Hal Leonard publication: The Real Ultimate Jazz Fake Book (this really is the title, not to be confused with other Hal Leonard fake books).
I play it at 90 bpm using the Latin - Cuba: Bolero style.
More - Oliviero, Ortolani, Ciorciolini
"Al di lā" (= Beyond) was a popular Italian song in the 1960s and is still a favorite in the Italian-American community. It was premiered in 1961 and was featured in the 1962 film Rome Adventure. It has a standard 32-bar ABAC structure. My arrangement includes a short tag ending.
A clip from Rome Adventure with Emilio Pericoli singing the tune (and a lovely young Suzanne Pleshette listening) can be found on Youtube. I play the tune with the Latin - Cuba: Bolero style at 100 bpm.
This is the first of five Italian favorites that I will be posting. I prepared the chord charts for these tunes after receiving a request to include some Italian songs in my playlist for a solo piano gig. "Al di lā" and the others were well received, with many of the audience singing along.
Al di la - Carlo Donida
"Malafemmena" (Evil woman) was composed in 1951 by the Neapolitan actor Totō (Antonio de Curtis) in 1951. Like "O Marenariello," which was the basis of "I Have But One Heart," a tune I posted recently, "Malafemmena" is a Canzone Napolitana, a song in the Neapolitan language, often, as in this case, a lover's complaint. The song was dedicated to the composer's wife after they separated. The lyrics are quite cutting and translations can be found on the web.
The structure of "Malafemmena" is a standard 32-bar ABAC. I have incorporated a turnaround in bars 31-32 and a two bar coda to finish the song.
There are many performances on Youtube. The one by Roberto Murolo (look for a man with a guitar) has a translation of the Neapolitan lyrics. He plays it as a tango, as do other Italian performers. A performance by Al Martino, of "Godfather" fame is also worth hearing. I knew and performed this song in the 1960s as a rhumba. I now perform it with the iRP Latin - Cuba: Bolero style at 110 bpm, but it also works using the Argentina: Tango style.
Malafemmena - Toto (Antonio de Curtis)
"O Sole Mio" (My Sunshine) was composed in 1898 by Eduardo di Capua with lyrics by Giovanni Capurro. It is a Canzone Napolitano and as such, does not have a typical 32-bar AABA or ABAC form. Rather, it has a 16-bar verse and a 16-bar chorus and both together make up the 32-bar form.
There are many versions on Youtube. There is a classic 1916 performance by Enrico Caruso and the Victor Orchestra and many modern performances by Luciano Pavarotti. Look for a fine (and visually beautiful) performance by the Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins. In addition, Elvis Presley, who had heard the song when in the Army in Europe, commissioned new English lyrics and recorded the song in 1960 as "It's Now Or Never."
I arranged and posted "O Sole Mio" as it retains great popularity in the Italian-American community. Rather than perform it with the tango rhythm that it and other Neapolitan songs were conceived with, I follow Elvis and play it as a rhumba. I use the Latin - Cuba: Bolero style at 110 bpm.
O Sole Mio - Eduardo di Capua
"Arrivederci Roma" is a song published in 1955 and composed by Renato Rascel. There are both Italian and English lyrics. Popular in the Italian-American community, it has a simple AA' structure with two almost identical 16-bar sections. There are many performances on Youtube. I recommend one by Vic Damone. Avoid a strange performance by Nat King Cole in which he sings a good part of the tune in poorly pronounced Spanish!
This is the fifth of five Italian songs I have recently posted. I hope they can be of use to iRP users.
I use the Latin - Cuba: Bolero style at 110 bpm.

Is there a shorter version that starts with the chorus?
You can start the iRp player at any measure with a long-press.
The chart could be easily edited also. For instance, if you just deleted the D.C. and D.S. instructions and set the player to 1 repeat, the chart would play only once from top to bottom.
:))BOB
Might be above my Tech level... I do need a printed version too.
There is a tutorial in the app.
Touch the pencil icon, select "duplicate", that way the original chart remains unchanged (so you can easily start over)
IRp charts instantly transpose to any key, and can be easily emailed to other iRp devices and/or printed as pdf's.
:))BOB
I figured it out well enough to print a version where with folds and pen marks it will work for my piano player. I need to learn how to erase the A and B sections and then copy the last C line to the end of the C section.
Ciao.
Grazie per aver caricato questi brani, bello trovare brani italiani sui forum. Ho aggiunto una versione jazz di "Se Stasera Sono Qui", e ho corretto alcune cose sui tuoi pezzi:
- alcune barre di misura FINALE che non erano alla fine del brano
- code inserite al posto di finali senza numero, con/senza etichetta END
- in "Una Carezza in un Pugno" e "Rose Rosse", accordi con settima maggiore erano impropriamente segnati con 7+; questa sigla indica "triade eccedente con settima minore", mentre tu volevi "triade maggiore con settima maggiore". La sigla italiana storica per questo accordo andrebbe eliminata, per avere una omogeneitā nella comunitā musicale internazionale
- strutture di alcuni brani (li avevo giā trascritti io, e ho inserito le versioni intere come da registrazione invece di giri armonici senza struttura ("Senza Fine", "Io che Amo Solo Te")
- autori in qualche canzone ("Che Sarā", "Ancora", "Un'Avventura", "Se Bruciasse la Cittā"). Le indicazioni generali di iReal Pro sono di inserire solo autori di musica, non dei testi. Almeno per postare sui forum, poi uno fa come crede con le proprie liste :)
- titolo di "Volare", e struttura
- tonalitā d'impianto di alcuni brani (erano segnati in C, mentre erano in F, D, o Em, ad esempio). Assicurati di impostare la tonalitā corretta, cosė le funzioni di trasposizione non saranno confusive
###############
Corrected:
- end-of-song barlines
- codas and endings
- chord symbol for major 7 chords (instead of old italian traditional 7+)
- song structures
- authors
- title
- default song key
