1. Well, O mio babbino caro is actually an aria from the opera "Gianni Schicchi" (1918), by Giacomo Puccini, It cannot be labeled as an art song because is a part of a staged work (an opera, in fact) while an art song is intended for performance as part of a recital or other relatively formal social occasion.
