4. Yeah, with my family music appreciation, whatever the Italian good part is, music is it.

Well, Italian and the Ruskies (TCHAIKOVSKY, SHOSTAKOVICH, RIMSKY-KORSAKOV, more than I know).

When I had barely (and still, only) heard of "Lady Gaga" (Bad Romance) and I was introducing her to my even more elderly sister, and we sung along, I had done the barest Google and found out she is Italian-American, and when we were entranced, I said, "Well, you know, she's ITALIAN" (hence the voice and melodic precision). The good side, not the MUSSOLINI/mob side, although it's all music.

And ROSSINI for fun:
