Tiziano Ferro, Italian latin pop singer, is talented, fun to listen to (and easy on the eyes!). One of my students turned me on to his music (grazie Gariella!).
Ferro also records Spanish versions of his Italian albums and has had notable success in Europe and Latin America. He has also released songs in English and has sold more than 7 million albums worldwide.
Take a listen to his song “Perdono” on YouTube. While you’re, check out “Indietro” and “Le Cose che non Dici”, too.
San Diego’s Taste of Little Italy returns — taking place this Wednesday, Nov. 4 from 5 to 9 p.m.
Among the participating restaurants are Anthology, Burger Lounge, Indigo Grill, Mimmo’s, Mona Lisa, Po Pazzo, Rice at the W Hotel, Cafe Zucchero, The Waterfront Grille, and Filippi’s Pizza Grotto. There will also be music and entertainment from musicians Regina Leonard and Luis Max and Blue Moon.
Tickets are $35 in advance and can be purchased online at the Taste of Little Italy website. They’ll cost $40 at the door. Included with the tickets is a voucher for two people to enjoy Chef Eric Bauer’s “Fresh Vibe Tuesday” at Anthology during the month of November.

Salve!
Ecco la frase idiomatica della settimana = Here’s your weekly Italian Idiom, brought to you by Italiano With Jodina:
“Chi non ha testa ha gambe.”
Literally, this means ‘He who doesn’t have his head, has legs.” Used in situations where someone is absent-minded and drops the ball because of not thinking, and then has to do extra leg-work to make up for the error.
For example, you are rushing around to get out the door to go a meeting, and when you arrive, you realize you’ve forgotten some critical documents. Now you have to go all the way back home to get them. Because you weren’t paying attention with your testa (head) in the first place, you now have to compensate with your gambe (legs).
“Chi non ha testa ha gambe!”
