Franco explores the rich regional world of traditional Italian folk music—from lively dances like the Tarantella and Piedmont’s La Monferrina, to Sicilian pride, northern favourites like Angelina Bellangielina, Roman tradition with Barcarolo Romano, Venetian charm in Marietta va in gondola, and a moving Sardinian hymn Ave, Mama e Deo performed by Maria Carta.
