Unknown Artist - From Italy With Love

This is a quintessential slice of mid-century, budget-label 'mood music.' In the 1960s, if you couldn't afford a flight to Venice, you could buy a record like this at the local drug store to set the scene in your living room. Featuring a beautifully painted, hyper-romantic gondola cover, the grooves are packed with lush, sweeping, mandolin-heavy instrumental takes on classic Italian melodies. It’s designed specifically to be played in the background while pouring Chianti and cooking pasta. Pure, delightful, easy-listening kitsch.
