Great music! Italian folk material is hard to find as it was so corrupted by Benito and co that it is still considered somewhat embarrassing in Italy. Unlike the UK where it is still street music, it tends to be very academic in Italy.

I dance with a women's morris side named Maenads! Our symbol is a spider's web :o)
