Why Italy

What are some Italian clothing and music?

Clothing as in traditional wears or causal clothing just something of italian culture. Music as in what type of music they listen to and what artists make these types of music. Sorry but I want to add one more thing. Entertainment as in what movies they shot or just thier HOLLYWOOD world in thier persceptive. If you can mention oone or two websites that help me with this question. Thank you people good-bye.

1. For music there is Bel canto like that performed by Maria Callas. Neapolitan (Naples) music is also authentic Italian. Think Funiculi, Funicula, O Sole Mio, etc. Arguably the most influential Italian film-maker was Frederico Fellini. Then, of course there are all the mafia movies. The Agony and the Ecstasy about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel was a classic with Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison. Much, of course, depends on the era and region in Italy you wish to research. Around the early Renaissance the Venetian styles would differ from the Roman, and from the Florentine, the Sicilian, the Neapolitan, etc. Hope this helps.
