There’s something about Italian music that just feels like love. Whether it’s the dramatic swells of a heartfelt ballad, the quiet poetry in a simple lyric, or the passion behind a pop refrain, Italian romantic songs have a way of slipping under your skin, then straight into your heart.
In this blog post, we’re taking a dreamy stroll through Italian romantic songs from the 1990s to today, with a playlist of emotional favorites to swoon to. But first, let’s talk about how Italian love songs have evolved over the last few decades.

If your ideal summer includes juicy banter, slow-burn chemistry, and happily-ever-afters wrapped in cartoonish covers, you’re going to want these 2025 rom-coms on your radar. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just sneaking pages between iced coffee refills, these five books deliver the perfect mix of laughter, love, and heat.

We all have a bit of chaos and a bit of calm in us—but which one takes the wheel on your Italian summer romance?

If you’ve ever dreamed of hopping on a Vespa with a gorgeous stranger or escaping to a scenic masseria with a vintage camera and a broken heart, then you’re going to want to know: are you more Michele Moretti or Lena Sinclair?

These two characters from my upcoming novel, The Road to You, couldn’t be more different.

Michele is all sun-soaked energy, spontaneous detours, and loud laughter echoing through cobblestone alleys.
Lena is the calm after the storm, the eye-roll that hides a soft heart, the silent strength holding everything together.


So… which one are you?

There’s something magical about Italy in the summer, the kind of magic that lingers on your skin like the Mediterranean sun and tugs at your heart with every sunset. In The Road to You, readers are swept away on a road trip romance through some of Italy’s most breathtaking locations. From the fashion-forward streets of Milan to the ancient stone dwellings of Matera, this book is a love letter to slow travel, scenic landscapes, and second chances.
