VA - Dolce Vita Swing (A Collection of Italian 60s Ballroom Gems) (2025)

Bringing the upbeat spirit of Swing music back to life, this compilation features rare and, in some cases, previously unreleased songs from the vibrant musical landscape of Italian ‘50s and ‘60s.
In this era, composers used to infuse swing with a unique Mediterranean flavour —refined melodies, soulful trumpets, playful clarinets, and those lush, sweet strings that immediately paint a picture of dolce vita nights, crowded ballrooms, and carefree smiles.
This compilation features tracks such as “Non Sono Bella”, written by the renowned Italian songwriter Giorgio Gaber, and “Rompitutto”, with the orchestra directed by Ennio Morricone, both interpreted by Maria Monti.
