Old Money Italian Summer ~ a Piero Piccioni playlist 

Hello everyone, hope you are having a pleasant day! I also do some videography on my social media, check it out! 🥰 linktr.ee/hoaxyphotos

everyone talking about summer and romance, but to me this is like the beginning of a nice tom and jerry episode, takes me back to my childhood.

Takes me back to my wedding in Sorrento. The smell of lemons, warm summer air, and my wife's Chanel perfume. Oh to be back there.

I love this! I'm in my late 50s and in the late 1960s n early 1970s I heard this music in public places and vacation spots by the ocean.

When I'm alone with my dad, this is the playlist we always listen to. He always starts telling me stories about his youth and when he used to listen to these songs after work with a little cup of coffee and a glass of wine. It's probably one of the few moments where we both are enjoying each other company

I'm having all these memories of things that never existed, or never happened. That's what this magical music does.

Isn’t it odd how music can direct our feelings like this

My husband and I host pool parties every summer. At the end of the night when there’s just a few of us left, we light candles, pour wine and swim by candlelight. I will be serenading my quests with this incredible playlist. Grazi 🇮🇹❤️🙏

There’s nothing more cinematic, romantic, then being an American student in Italy for a semester. I learned what it is to love, a person, a place, a moment. This music brings that all back, at light speed. Thank You

here in Italy it's actually really hard to find people with any knowledge of the composers or musicians in general who made history and marked our culture. thank you for blessing our ears with my favourite composer of all time me and other Italians like me appreciate all of this, keep it up

I am convinced that Italians have the most developed sense of beauty in the world. Even just the language is just a treat to listen to…

Super Im 62 Italian American spent summers in the amalfi and Canne France with the parents it was a magical time

I am not Italian, none of my family have Italian blood. But my father loves Italian music, movies and cultures. Even when I was still a baby, he'd turn up Italian songs from his cassett and he'd dance with me in his arms. I'm 20 now, if I ever get married, I'd want my dance with my papa to be one of these songs.

All the good summer vibes + Italian feelings + the touch of the 70's. It's like being in a movie.

man i love this aesthetic

0:00 - Amore mio aiutami, Piero Piccioni 3:50 - Per Noi Due Soli (Love theme), Piero Piccioni 8:16 - Easy lovers, Piero Piccioni 11:57 - Mexican Dream, Piero Piccioni 13:57 - It’s impossible, Piero Piccioni 18:50 - Sensual, Piero Piccioni

22 longing for the time that this played all the time. The other night I went to a show and I dressed up in my long black coat, shiny new boots, collared shirt, and all groomed. While waiting for the show to start Piccioni started to play for around 20 minutes and it felt so cool to get a glimpse of how our grandparents used to feel. I wish our generation was more into older generations culture. Not saying that Im always "Classy" but man did it feel good

I may be very young, but my soul still yearns to hear these types of instrumentals, sadly not used very often anymore. Thank you so much for making an excellent playlist that I hope will never get taken off of youtube. From the bottom of my heart, i see this as a gem hidden in the algorithm, have a lovely day, everyone.

this playlist makes me want to become italian, even if i already am

This is so far the best playlist i've ever found for studying. Highly recommend listening to it while doing your homework!

I discovered the heady, addictive, “Italian Summer” 60 years ago as a teenager. What an experience! The handsome boys in their sports cars,languid dinners at cafes; it was magical and now a precious nostalgic memory.

Piccioni mi fa tornare bambino. Adolescente. Alle foto in bianco e nero. Fa tornare la mia mente al grande Cinema italiano. Ad un mondo che, irrimediabilmente, non c'è più.

sono italiana e fiera di esserlo. piero piccioni is one of the best italian composers in my opinion.

Italia is the greatest and most beautiful country in the entire world

The pic and tracks make me wish I was diving into a clear sea south of France or Italy. Eating fresh fish on the beach then watching the sunset with my wife in my arms. Knowing we will never be this young and beautiful again.

This is the sound of Italy.

I love this type of music. So elegant, so classy 🌹

Столько любви, тепла и нежности в этих мелодиях! Солнечный свет после долгой зимы в звуках:))

I play this at least once a week and everytime I look at the image, I kinda get sad , that the moments the people in the picture had are long gone and now they are all either dead or old now. We have a brief moment here and those pictured were young once and its all come to pass. The music just adds so much more melancholy to it, but also a positive vibe too.

Mid July 2023 here in Bulgaria. Sunny Beach this weekend and this music comes along to provide a beautiful atmosphere in the sun ☀️☀️☀️☀️

As myself Italian, Piccioni was one of the most underrated genius in our country.

i'm a begginner pianist and he's one of my favorite artists ever.

I am 58 years old and this reminds me of when I was just a little bambino, and I wenta witha a my a family to the lake a Como. Grazia Hoaxy!!!! You a makea me feel like a childa again

I grew up watching classic movies..and it takes me in that world

Piero never misses. These works are timeless.

My childhood, the Black Sea, Pitsunda, my forever young and beautiful mother... ❤

I'm crying hearing this music . those times are Lost forever.

The first few seconds, my whole body frose, my jaw slacked as I stared at the screen, and I said, "Oh," in a whisper. I'm entranced by this luscious beauty in my ears. Never make it stop.

These tunes are timeless, they touch souls not age, not numbers. Grazie Piccioni ❤

So evocative of my childhood in the late 60’s…..sigh. This entire playlist is perfection, but MEXICAN DREAM-chef’s kiss …. I bought about 100 songs from Italian movie soundtracks and play them often.

Ascoltare ad occhi chiusi queste melodie, immaginare di volare sopra una Roma romantica anni 70/80 . Tanta nostalgia ma anche fortuna di aver vissuto quella meravigliosa stagione grazie Piero e grazie ad Alberto Sordi

i fall in love with italian culture❤❤

man I feel rich just by listening to it 😁

I remember this old village I visited during a wellness trip, I remember following this walls with vines, dogs barking in the distance, and the breeze hugging my body like a long time friend I haven’t seen. I followed the wall until it lead me to this beach, I walked for hours and when sunset hit, the sea sparkled like a collection of diamonds. What a beautiful memory

I grew up on older European films, more specifically Italian and French up to the French new wave. I really miss that Europe. It is sad what it became.

Fantastic playlist. It reminds me of babyhood in 70s NYC. This type of music was still playing around the city then. I miss it.

I don't watch movies anymore, but this makes me want the picture to come alive and see a story about a rich, spoilt American-Italian boy in the 1960s. He's on holiday in Italy, to visit his rich grandmother with his family, when he meets a sweet natured, poor village girl who loves her life and thinks he has no substance. Despite his parents' threats and the scorn of his high society, they fall in love, all set to this music. Dreamy! The song changed, and I imagined the end of the movie, where they're lazily living by the aqua seashore in a cute little village house, chickens pecking the ground, as they have breakfast outside. His parents disowned him, and he's making a living by working for his father-in-law ... making & selling gelato (lol!), but the happy couple are happy indeed. He pours her coffee, lounges back to continue reading and puts his feet up next to hers. Without a word, they "play footsies" ever so slightly. And keep reading. A horn beeps, their eyes flash to meet. He checks his watch, frowning. "They're early." "Good," she says, and stretches her hands down beside her, lifting up a baby. "Come meet your uncle and aunty!" Oh, dear, I have to stop. I want to write this whole script. The music, the setting, the 60s fashion, the upside down Cinderella story ... Probably so cliche, but I'd watch this movie a million times.

Back in summer 1976...... Blue skies, big sunglasses and VOGUE!

Моя мечта ещё раз увидеть прекрасную Италию ! Нет ничего лучше! Если бы можно было бережно взять её в руки и убрать в карман, к сердцу ! ❤❤❤

gosh i love his music like words can't explain how i feel when i listen to his work. i like to imagine it's the 60s and i'm sitting in a conversation pit with my best friend and we're laughing and enjoying ourselves while having a drink and this typa music is playing

0:01 Amore mio Aiutami... (Alberto Sordi) For those who don't know this movie. Her wife asks her husband to help her because she is in love with another man, her husband loves her so much that he finally lets her go with her lover, very sad movie...

God grant me the embrace of silence and pure enjoyment of music without my mind stressing me out and making up a scenarios and ruin it for me

How evocative, how serene, how elegant, how beautiful. Thank you so much from me here in South Africa.

1960’s playboy music, Ferraris, vino, classy loafers, smedley knit, olympian deluxe raybans, close haircut, beautiful women, the epitome of cool….what a dreamer i am!!!❤️

La beauté des années 55/60. La douceur de vivre sur la méditerranée et,surtout, la classe, le chic et le Beau

Бог, дякую за музику і слух

I want to live in this playlist

As an Italian I'm honoured by this playlist... Piero Piccioni was a great composer! ❤ And I miss the purchasing power that we had with "le lire"... grazie per il video! Ciao!

First time hearing this and I'm in love with the vibe

I’m 39 and I love listening to older music and this I’m adding. I very much appreciate how music then sounds.

love how relaxing this music is!

The best summer playlist ever🤌

Italy! I’m coming in summer 2024

Haven't heard such classy music like this in a long time😊

piero is one of the greats without a doubt.

theres something so nostalgic about this music, it just makes me feel as though i've been to italy even though i've never been to it. I have been listening to Piero since 2020 and longing to one day go to italy and experience the feelings i get when listening to his music

So beautiful. Close your eyes and let the music take you places.

Fantastico, grande Maestro Piero Piccioni

Riva Aquarama is a classic boat, best of the best. If I had the money I’d buy the 27 ft Riva ISEO

Piccioni's music is just for DREAM..... Wonderful ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

beautiful music, he's a genius. My dad introduced me to him and ever since I have liked his music. Un vero e proprio genio.

boy those old money italians sure loved their high pitched ringing noise at 7 minutes 30 seconds

This reminds me of summer 1983 in the school holidays. I'd have a glass or ten of white wine, big plate of chips, fishcakes and a bit of coleslaw, jump in the pool for a while then watch _Bergerac_ . Muriel from the Peppermill restaurant would come over to use my microwave, and then we'd have a vegetable CupaSoup, plant some watercress in eggshells with funny faces drawn on them.

Смотрю на фото: мгновение чьей-то жизни. Счастливое мгновение, веселое. Сколько их в наших жизнях проходят не замеченными

Did you walk inside my brain? This is perfection.

piero piccioni is my favorite new obsession

Makes me feel like I'm living in a 60s movie as a I ride a Vespa up to Lago di Como.

"...endless summer possibilities..." I'm feelin it.

This is the soundtrack to a nice life.

The warmth of the sun shines through

To the Sicilian woman I met in the port, you still have my heart after all these years. You were that woman, 42 and I was only 20, but you stole my heart that afternoon on your yacht! Dayum babe……..

Takes me back to that time I first watched this video on RU-vid. Those were the days... ah yes; it's good to be rich and well-traveled.

This is so much better then Taylor Swift or Post Malone.

ugghhh, piccioni is SOOOO underrated, we need more people to listen to his music 👐 (I'm forcing my mum to enroll me in violin/trumpet lessons so that I could play his songs 😭😭)

I hope to have a life that feels like this.

THIS IS TOTALLY MY TYPE OF MUSIC...THANK YOU FOR SHARING, LOVE FROM GREECE...

Takes me away, to a better place, a better time, a better life.

This is so good, perfect for a lazy afternoon. My fave Piccioni is Eros In Hiro from the Bora Bora soundtrack - another languid, beautiful tune.

Heard this for the first time today, im now a fan,just nipping out to the kitchen to pour a large martini rosso..salut et bon weekend!

Viva la mia grande nazione,l’Italia…

I'm gonna cry, this is SO beautiful! thank you

Que bella música que recuerdos más gratificantes

All this wonder you still live in Italy. it’s all in our heads, it’s about mentality 💛

What a wonderful music.. i have no words for this vibe

Love this background music for the soul. Don't ever stop stopping this!

This music is on the background of like 60's movies when they are all glamorous and interacting with a guy and so on..... very intriguing. Yet, very PG. It is lovely!

this is my favorite playlist! studying, cleaning, hosting, going for a walk, etc. would LOVE a longer version :)

Che meraviglia.

Very relaxing. Like a good glass of wine. Thank you. Toute.😊

What a piece for Sunday afternoon chilling!
