‘O sole mio playlist

The flower of Naples – vol. 1
This first anthology of Neapolitan songs highlights the best examples of an art that emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century and flourished between 1880 and 1930, a period of fifty years during which the city of Naples was the undisputed musical capital of Italy. A song like 'O sole mio (1898) was a worldwide success thanks to Caruso’s recording, and gave way to hundreds of interpretations in many languages, to the point of becoming one of the most famous songs of the entire national vocal heritage.
