"With you, I will depart / On ships across the seas / Which, I know / No, no, they no longer exist / It's time to say goodbye." Departures. Ships crossing seas. Moments of farewell. The famous lines of the song by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman could serve as a perfect manifesto for the typically Italian way of going around the world. And it's no coincidence that this song is the most loved Italian song worldwide. This is confirmed by the results of a survey conducted by the Società Dante Alighieri on "Ambassadors of Italy through Songs." The research was curated by Fabio Caon, a professor at the University Ca' Foscari of Venice, and director of the intercultural communication and didactics laboratory LABCOM, as well as a member of the Scientific Committee of "Dante." The analysis, now in its second edition after a previous 2018 study, was created to identify the most listened-to Italian songs and the most popular Italian singers abroad. "Italian song," explains the Society, "is one of the main elements of Italy’s cultural and linguistic promotion worldwide and one of the main national symbols, as demonstrated by the spread of the Italian language in classical music and the demand for linguistic training from opera singers around the world." To move the project forward and understand which songs are most listened to, both in schools or Italian courses, and outside of the educational environment, the research team created a questionnaire addressed to Italian teachers and students. The data from the first phase of the survey (concluded on February 10) come from the responses of one hundred and ninety teachers from forty-two countries, including Cameroon, Bulgaria, China, the United Arab Emirates, India, and Peru. "Con te partirò" (Time to Say Goodbye) came out at number one, followed by "Nel blu dipinto di blu" by Domenico Modugno and "Azzurro" by Adriano Celentano. Other songs favored by international audiences include "L'italiano" by Toto Cutugno, "Felicità" by Albano and Romina, "Un'estate italiana" (Notti magiche) by Gianna Nannini, "La solitudine" by Laura Pausini, "O sole mio," and "Sarà perché ti amo" by Ricchi e poveri. "Interestingly," notes the “Dante” society, "the role of Sanremo in the diffusion of Italian songs worldwide." Examples of this include songs like "Grande amore" (Il Volo, winner of the Festival in 2015), "Soldi" (Mahmood, winner of Sanremo in 2019), and "Zitti e buoni" (Måneskin, winner in 2021). Other famous singers abroad include Eros Ramazzotti, Jovanotti, Annalisa, and the group The Kolors. Some phenomena are also linked to the following established on social media, or the use of songs in popular TV series or some remixes (alternative versions of a song). Included in this category are “Pedro” by Raffaella Carrà (in the Jaxomy & Agatino Romero Remix), “Con te partirò,” used in the South Korean series "Squid Game 2," very popular on Netflix (whose soundtrack also features "Nessun dorma," from Puccini's Turandot), and "Bella ciao," featured in the Spanish TV series "La casa di carta," also distributed on Netflix. Speaking of television, in Brazil, Gianluca Grignani's song "La mia storia tra le dita" is very well known for being the theme song of a telenovela. One last aspect highlighted by the first results of the research concerns our songwriters, "still very little represented" worldwide. The research continues, and after the project's actual conclusion, "the most chosen songs, the most beloved, and the most interesting from a linguistic perspective among those suggested by the teachers will be made available to teachers in the form of educational sheets, with activities aimed at learning the Italian language." The sheets will also be available on the website www.dante.global and on the Society's social media channels, as well as on those of curator Fabio Caon.
