They even add Italian versions of some popular American and English songs, for example "Con Le Mie Lacrime", the Italian version of the Rolling Stones classic "As Tears Go By". Whether as background ambient music at your Italian restaurant or on stage at a summer Italian festival, SCOLA is guaranteed to provide you pure entertainment and a fantastic listening experience. SCOLA is available as a duo, a trio, or for larger venues, as a full band (with bass, drums and saxophone) BIO Like many Italian-Americans from the Philadelphia area, Domenico Scola grew up listening to Frank Sinatra and Louis Prima with his father and grandfather. But his knowledge of "Italian" music expanded while he was living and singing in Roma for ten years. While in Italia, Domenico began listening to today's rock and pop artists such as Antonello Venditti and Vasco Rossi. Domenico is joined by classically trained musicians who share the same love for this "Italian" music.
