Buon Natale! Merry Christmas! Memories of an "Italian-American Christmas"; From the aroma of the food to the glow of the fire lights and good music "Canzone Natalizia or Canzone Di Natale" there's nothing like an Italian-American Christmas. More than 3 million Italians immigrated to the United States in the early years of the 20th century, establishing the largest immigrant community of the period. Where a group of Italian-American vocalists achieved great success as recording artists and performers, here we'll salute the Italian-American crooners, such as Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Vic Damone, Jerry Vale, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Lou Monte, Al Martino, Julius La Rosa, Jimmy Roselli, Frankie Laine, Don Cornell, Connie Francis,Frankie Valli and many, many more, hearing their Christmas songs that played in our homes. Undeniably, religion remains the central part of the Christmas season, and so we share the season with family, Loved ones, plenty of good food and music.
