Summary: A somewhat odd assortment of excellent music, inaptly named.
Comment: I'm fairly new to Chris Botti's music but am rapidly becoming a big fan. This CD is no exception.
Every track on the CD has something to recommend it, but my particular favorites are "Venice" and
the title track with a fabulous and haunting vocal accompaniment by Andrea Bocelli. Beyond those
two cuts and two others (Ave Maria and Estate'), however, there's not much here in common with the
Italian-themed title of the CD. I would also note that Paula Cole's vocals on track 4 (The Very
Thought of You) sound rather muffled at the beginning of the song, but this is production issue that
doesn't otherwise detract from the quality of piece.

The titular misnomer aside, I
found the rather eclectic range of styles (and multiple covers) maybe a little distracting.
Offerings go from the crooning of Dean Martin (I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face), to the more
typical Botti smooth jazz (The Way You Look Tonight), to Andrea Bocelli (Italia), to the higher
sound of the Ave Maria (which is a mixture of church oratorio and Botti's trumpet). In spite of
this rather unique blending of styles, though, I am generally very pleased with this CD and would
gladly recommend it for your listening pleasure.

clue what he is singing about...after a day at work, I slip this CD into my car's CD player and my
frustrations melt away...lovely, lovely music...
