The Italian is the debut album by Italian baritone Patrizio Buanne. It was released in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2005, and the United States on 7 March 2006.
The album is composed of romantic Italian tunes, influenced by the songs of Italian and Italian-American singers (such as Sergio Bruni and Frank Sinatra) that Buanne heard played as a youth in his father's Italian restaurant. Buanne strives to re-invent the classics of that era with this new album of traditional songs arranged in a fresh style and sung in both Italian and English.
