Amore
I needed a collection of Italian songs for a night of piano music for a fundraiser. Found this book, took a chance, and ordered it. The music was very playable, meaning most of it was easily learned in a few run-throughs..

Italian Favorites.
A very comprehensive collection of Italian standards, easy to navigate and perform from. It is probably the best of its type that I have seen and it was relatively inexpensive. I work quite a bit in Italian restaurants and find the book totally helpful and worthwhile.

Good Italian variety
I play for senior citizens, for an Italian club. This book was easy to follow and like all Hal-Leonnard books, it was arranged for the intermediate player. I am not a real sophisticated piano player, so have the chords listed above the staffs works well for me. Definitly 5 stars.

DON'T BUY THIS BOOK
This is not a worthy collection of songs for someone looking for Italian songs. Rather, there are plenty of American songs about Italian themes and very few favorite songs of Italy. Also, the edited versions of the few Italian favorites are not true to the originals.

Our Italian Dinner was a Great Success!
My choir used songs from this book as entertainment at their Spaghetti dinner and it was a great success. These are crowd pleasers.
