Feeling Italian and Romantic? Here is the Smooth Sound of Chris Botti and Dean Martin

I'm half-Italian, but you don't have to be Italian to feel Italian and romantic. You can listen to Chris Botti's wonderfully smooth sound on his CD Italia.

To place you in an especially Italian and romantic mood, you can listen to Chris Botti accompany the one and only Dino - Dean Martin. The link to I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face is below:

For an Italian encore, listen to Dino sing Non Dimenticar. The link to the song, which also features photos of Dino, is below:
