"L'Italiano," released in 1983, is a signature song by Italian singer-songwriter Toto Cutugno. Though it only came fifth in the Sanremo Music Festival that year, it achieved international fame. The song declares Italian national pride, celebrating the country's culture, history, and way of life. It became an anthem for Italians living abroad, expressing feelings of nostalgia and love for their homeland.


Beyond the surface celebration, "L'Italiano" delves deeper, painting a complex portrait of the Italian people. It doesn't shy away from depicting the strengths and weaknesses often associated with the national character.

The lyrics playfully list various "Italianisms," like love for football (referencing the 1982 World Cup victory), family, and passionate discussions. They also touch on some less flattering aspects, including the perceived influence of American culture and a declining religious presence.

Despite these observations, the song ultimately expresses a strong sense of pride. Cutugno sings of "mamma" and "amore," highlighting the importance of family and love in Italian life. He also references the national flag, suggesting a sense of unity and belonging. Ultimately, "L'Italiano" is a celebration of being Italian, acknowledging both the good and the bad with a loving, humorous, and patriotic touch.
