Italy and Italian language

I am interested in Italian language, culture and cuisine. And, of course, to be very specific, Italian music around year 1600: Monteverdi, Caccini, Frescobaldi, Piccinini, Marini, ... Originally my interest started because of music: you cannot accompany a singer singing an Italian baroque song, if you do not understand the text. Later I found out that Italian is very swinging and expressive as a language. I started Italian language some years ago, and it was so nice to find out that you can learn something even after childhood.

I have been very lazy in updating the links in this page! My music page is the only one of these pages updated actively.
