From Rome south one finds women who sing in this style. Albanians in Calabria. Are these Slavic song pockets traces of slow migrations or do they represent isolated remnant of a substratum?

Saracen (North African influence). Polyrhythmic rhythm instruments predominate -- percussion from town of Pagani (town of the pagans). Manifold connections of Southern Italy and Spain.

Summary: 1) Greek and Etruscan pre-history (saltarello, tambourine, funeral lament 2) Historical Italy -- choral (possibly Celtic) North vs. the solo (possibly Roman) South. 3) Medieval Italy -- influence of invaders from abroad. 4) Post Renaissance saw the domination of the lyric love song. (5) Folk opera of Reggio Emilia. Relationship of love song to practices of courtship. Example of "overripe" Neapolitan pop song. The discovery of the trip was the varation of song-styles from North to South and its correspondence to social attitudes to love.
