So I was thinking of things to play while we show pictures/videos/cats/whatever an I think some of these would be cool. Obviously we won't play anything in its entirety but we could clip parts we think are cool sounding.

This is the Tarantella from the Godfather. (Tarantellas tend to sound very stereotypical Italian so feel free to google some cool ones.)

"'O sole mio" is a pretty well known Italian song, it means "My own sun" in English. Also, how can we do Italy without some Pavarotti?

You really don't get much more Italian than this.

This is Pavarotti doing the aria "Nessn Dorma" which is his most famous aria. This is pretty well known so I think it would be cool to use. Especially starting at about the 2:16 mark in this particular video. Also, try to ignore his crazy facial expressions, he was in character for this.
Any other thoughts? I saw that someone posted "Funiculi, Funicula" and that works too. Let me know! :)
