In most cases you get ballads and poems clearly spoken out and quite understandable: just avoid the ones where he sings in his local dialect (which, by the way, is my dialect as well). <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000A9DGQ/sr=1-10/qid=1138056590/ref=pd_bbs_10/002-7101938-3402403?%5Fencoding=UTF8">This one</a> could be a good start.

Do get in touch with me as soon as you know your dates, so that I will do my best to make sure to be in Milan by then!

My wife (who speaks Italian) and I (a very very rudimentary speaker) will be in Italy for a few days next month, in Milano and Torino. Perhaps it would be possible to meet for a drink and chat about Apache / Pro-Netics stuff? Also, if you had any suggestions of good Italian pop singers whose diction / pronounciation is clear, so that I can improve my Italian language skills by listening to them, I would appreciate it ;) Thanks for the recommendation.
