I realize an important reason for presenting this song is to show the difference between a dialect and standard Italian. But I wanted to share some information with you and your readers about "O sole mio." In 1898, after returning to Naples with the song, Di Capua showed it to Alfredo Mazzucchi, a young pianist, who transcribed the music, scoring it for the piano, and it is now believed, making significant contributions to the melody. In 2002, after almost 30 years of litigation, an Italian court ruled that Mazzucchi had the right to be known as the co-author of "O sole mio", and granted his heirs the copyright until 2042.

I love the way in which the text is exposed; especially for us folk who are unfamiliar with la lingua napoletana. Grazie! That’s great!
