_C’è la luna in mezzo a u mari (there is the moon in the middle of the sea) is an ancient Sicilian song that tells, in a comical way, the dialogue between mother and daughter on the daughter’s indecision to take a husband_

_The mother proposes several suitors but the daughter’s response is always of total indecision._
_Sicilian folk music has very ancient origins, it is assumed that it derives from the earliest music and songs of the times of Magna Grecia which were transmitted orally over the centuries_

_This song was chosen in the opening scene of the 1972 Francis Ford Coppola film, “The Godfather”, where a wedding party was described._

_The song was chosen precisely because this Sicilian folk song, thanks to the strong emigration, is very popular in the United States, so much so that it was also sung by Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, and then in different versions by others American singers of Italian origin such as Lou Monte._

_Another curiosity that we can link to this song is that the great Gioacchino Rossini, when he wrote his famous Tarantella “La Danza” in 1835 as an opening verse, used these words “Già la luna è in mezzo al mare”. Some critics and historians of the song cited this parallelism as a source of inspiration for Rossini._
