Music for my Italy vacation picture video

I would love some suggestions of music you enjoy for these types of videos. Nothing too fast, I want it would flow nicely as the pictures come up and transition. Italian type music only, instrumental or vocal. Thanks for your help!

I have gone to iTunes and have found several, but I’m stuck.

I'd try to throw in some Italian mandolin music.

A few more to consider - " Pulcinella " music arranged by Stravinsky , but written by the Italian composer , Pergolesi ( one of my favorite orchestras in this recording }https://youtu.be/glbnrYF_0ck Also, this film score by Ennio Morricone , one of Italy's great film composers https://youtu.be/_APmVdXm4Xw Don't let the title mislead you .

Hi Lulu,
A topic close to my heart, as we often try to include related musical interludes within our own Trip reports.
In preparation for our eventual TR-photo essay about our recent Amalfi Coast voyage, the following have made the short list. In some cases, we also add music unrelated to the country but similar in feel.

PFM- Appena un po = a superb choice for an intro, say with Castelluccio engulfed in morning mist.
Matia Bazaar- Cavallo Blanco (or Fantasia)
Verdi- Il Trovatore Anvil chorus (or La Traviata or Rigoletto 'La Donna e Mobil')
Vivaldi- Four Seasons (or Concerto D minor or Concerto 3 F major L'Autumno)
-Godfather themes--these never seem to get tired
-Funicula the song
Pino Daniele-Che Calore
-Volare the song
Andrea Bocelli-A te
Puccini--Giani Schicchi (O Mio Babbino Caro)
Robert Fripp and Brian Eno's 'Wind on Water' makes a great accompaniment for say, Venetian water scenes.

Good luck with this project!
I am done. The muzix.

Just a side note......will you be posting any of these videos with music on the internet? If so, you need to make sure the music you use is in the public domain or you get permission to use it. Otherwise it is copyright infringement and you could get sued.

It happens.

Frank is exactly right - you don't want to use copyrighted music on Youtube, Facebook or anywhere else on line.

A good alternative is to find the Teknoaxe channel on Youtube. He also has a website https://teknoaxe.com/ where you can hear and download his music. It's free to use as long as you give him credit in your comments for the video. He has a large and diverse library to choose from as well.

I have nothing to do with Teknoaxe - I'm a YT creator who used his music for quite awhile before I subscribed to a royalty free music site.
