  4. Naples has played an important and vibrant role over the centuries not just in the music of Italy, but in the general history of western European musical traditions. This influence extends from the early music conservatories in the 16th century through the music of Alessandro Scarlatti during the Baroque period and the comic operas of Pergolesi, Piccinni and, eventually, Rossini and Mozart. The vitality of Neapolitan popular music from the late 19th century has made such songs as 'O Sole mio and Funiculì Funiculà a permanent part of our musical consciousness. Luciano Pavarotti won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance for his rendition of 'O Sole Mio.

  5. Santa Lucia” The song was written by Teodoro Cottrau and published in Naples in 1849. Cottrau himself translated it into Italian during the Risorgimento, making it the first Neapolitan song translated into Italian. A gesture to unify Italy, not only geographically, but also literally. The lyrics celebrate the picturesque district of Saint Lucia on the bay of Naples. The song became a national and international hit and was interpreted by famous performers as Enrico Caruso (1916) and Elvis Presley (1957).

  6. “Funiculì, Funiculà" is a famous Neapolitan song written by Italian journalist Peppino Turco and set to music by Italian composer Luigi Denza in 1880. It was composed to commemorate the opening of the first funicular cable car on Mount Vesuvius. The 1880 cable car was later destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 1944. The song was sung for the first time in the Quisisana Hotel in Castellammare di Stabia and met with huge success. It was presented by Turco and Denza at the Piedigrotta festival during the same year. Edward Oxenford, an English songwriter and translator of libretti, published a version which became somewhat traditional in English-speaking countries.

  7. “O sole mio" is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. It was made popular by Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, Mario Lanza, The Canadian Tenors, and The Three Tenors, as well as rock/pop artists such as Bryan Adams, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Vitas (who sings it in a high countertenor range), Al Bano, and Elvis Presley (It's Now or Never). Luciano Pavarotti won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance for his rendition of 'O Sole Mio. Though there are versions in other languages, 'O sole mio is usually sung in the original Neapolitan language. 'O sole mio is the Neapolitan equivalent of Standard Italian Il sole mio and translates literally as "My Sun" (not "Oh My Sun").

  10. Cottrau, Santa Lucia The original Text reads: (NAP) « Comme se frícceca la luna chiena! lo mare ride, ll'aria è serena... E' pronta e lesta la varca mia... Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!t Stu viento frisco fa risciatare: chi vo' spassarse jenno pe mmare? Vuje che facite 'mmiezo a la via? Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!
