Mamma: an Italian music classic

By: Francesca Bezzone

The song Mamma has a special place in Italian music history, both because of its universal theme, maternal love, and the many famous artists to whom it is associated. The song was composed in 1940 by Cesare Andrea Bixio, with lyrics by Bixio Cherubini, a known artistic duo.

Born in Naples on October 11, 1896, Cesare Andrea was a prolific Italian composer, known for his contributions to popular music in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. His repertoire included classics such as VivereParlami d’amore, Mariù, and La mia canzone al vento
