Italian love phrases.

There is a very good reason why Italian is called a 'Romance' language.  If you've ever listened to it or tried to learn to speak Italian you'll know it's the most romantic language in the world. The words, the sounds, the tone all come together in a beautiful melody.

Think of the love songs of Enrico Caruso, Andrea Bocelli, and the greatest tenor of them all, Luciano Pavarotti. 

Think of the lovely melodic voices of the great Italian actors - Claudia Cardinale, Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni (think 'La Dolce Vita').

Remember Italian love phrases of those wonderful films set in the romance of Italy - 'Summertime', 'Three Coins in the Fountain', 'La Dolce Vita'.
