Buongiorno from the land of La Dolce Vita.

Italy may be the most European place in Europe. Given its history, the beauty of its cities, and richness of its cuisine and culture, it's hard for anywhere else to really compare.

While visiting northern Italy last fall, I made a series of audio recordings of street performers, church bells, and sometimes just ambient noise. The recordings are short and presented here essentially unedited, but hopefully they capture a bit of Italy's simultaneously warm and exotic essence.
