...our special ranking for this summer: The most beautiful songs from Bella Italia. BELLA VITA from 0 to 1000 in two seconds (see playlist below). The choruses are there for you to sing along. (We have updated our list once again: Here is our Best of Summer 2022, the conclusion).

Rank 10

Watch out, here comes the full load of emozioni. The first night with your holiday sweetheart, the sun is setting, sand under your feet. Who knows if you will ever see each other again. So many Emozioni, palpitations...

No wonder that the duo wins the famous "San Remo" festival with this song - and takes 6th place at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin.

By the way, the title "Brividi" means trembling.

Refrain from Brividi:

Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi

Place 9

A full load of Emzioni Grand is also available from Sangiovanni with the song "Farfalle". "Farfalle" is not only a type of pasta, but also means butterfly. The perfect song for a summer with feelings. You can almost feel the heartbreak at the end of your holiday...

Refrain from "Farfalle":

E non l'ho detto a nessuno
Che ho perso la testa e sono pazzo di te
Non volano farfalle
Non sto più nella pelle
Ho perso le emozioni me le ritrovi tu?
Da questa notte
No, no non voglio stare male
Dammi due ali per volare
Sei una boccata d'aria-ia

Place 8

The song is pure longing, light and fluffy. Like a warm summer breezee, when you are on your way to the sea - but your mind is actually somewhere else. Title: "Litoranea", means coast.

The chorus:

Quanta confusione sulla litoranea
Giuro che ora scendo, che mi manca l'aria
E arrivo al mare a piedi, lo so che non mi credi
Ti telefonerò (o forse no)

What you experience at the Spanish Steps in Rome...

Place 7

Lightness paired with melancholy, that only exists so beautifully in Italy. Sounds like a road trip, the feeling of freedom - days like that could last forever.

The title "Giovani Wannabe" translates as young wannabe.

The chorus of "Giovani Wannabe":

Noi siamo giovani wannabe (oh-oh oh-oh)
Ti dedico le autostrade che portano al mare
Giovani wannabe (oh-oh oh-oh)
Figli dei fiori del male, guerre lontane, noi
Sopravvissuti anche alla fine della storia
Voglio incontrarti ancora al prossimo Big Bang (eh-eh)
Sul viso leggi il mio passato come Dorian
Portami dove vuoi

The best quotes from "The Godfather

PLACE 6

Imagine a long hot summer night in Italy. An open bar somewhere by the sea. It is slowly getting light, the first orange in the sky. The title of this song: "Tribale", tribal. You don't want to go to sleep yet and just keep dancing....

The chorus of "Tribale":

Mi resta di te
Mi resta di te
Un riflesso di mare
Un segno tribale
Mi resta di te
Anche senza di te
L'istinto naturale
Di venirti a cercare
Tribal
Tribal
Tribal

PLACE 5

Where's the Aperol Sprizz?! This song makes you want to take a cold shower and then head out into the night. Time for conquests! Tonight we just want to have fun...

The title of the song: Camera 209. It's about a very long evening in a club by the sea.

The chorus of "Camera 209":

Forse solo due o tre cose, mi sembrava di volare così
Ho fatto piccole le ore in un locale sul mare
Con le amiche era una vita che non stavo così
C'era la luna e avevo voglia di gridare
Con te

GAY FRIENDLY travel in Italy

Place 4

Hot summer nights in Italy. This song is pure passion. The promising title: "Bagno a mezzanotte" means full bath at midnight. You can guess the rest...

The refrain of "Bagno a mezzanotte":

Uno, due, tre, alza
Il volume nella testa
È qui dentro la mia festa, baby
Uno, due, tre, alza
Il volume nella testa
È qui dentro la mia festa, baby

Emozioni grandi: Italian cult songs to sing along with

3rd place

In the summer of 2022, Italy's cool old master Jovanotti and Six PM will be releasing this good-mood summer hit. Goes straight into the ear and into the legs. Optimism and positive messages - Italian lightness. Of course, there is also amore...

Refrain of "I love you baby":

Ma il testo dice
Qualcosa come
I love you baby
Più chiaro di così non c'era

I love you baby
Lo canterò per te
Stasera
Domani
E finché non vedrò
La luce dei tuoi occhi tornare nei tuoi occhi
La luce dei tuoi occhi tornare nei tuoi occhi
La luce dei tuoi occhi tornare nei tuoi occhi
La luce dei tuoi occhi tornare nei tuoi occhi

2nd place

The last night on the beach. You can already feel the longing. A sweet summer love, it stings the heart. You never forget a summer in Italy. Just like this song - only just slipped past number 1...

Title: "Piove en discoteca", means something like "It's raining in a disco".

The chorus of "Piove en discoteca":

Non prende il telefono
Davanti al golfo di Napoli
Ma San Gennaro, lo sai
A volte fa miracoli
Piove in discoteca
Cadono le stelle in hotel
Di sabato sera, non ti preoccupare
Copro io la luna per te
Così nessuno ci vede, eh, eh

Our number 1

This song really has everything you need for a perfect summer. The title says it all anyway: "La dolce vita". It's about being crazy, the passion and the love, long nights... SO BEAUTIFUL!

The chorus of "LA DOLCE VITA":

La vita senza amore dimmi tu che vita è
Oh, dove sei andata, oh, mi sei mancata
Mi perdo dentro al taxi che mi porterà da te
Bello stare a casa, musica italiana
