Donna Donna.
Giga della Valle Borberra.
Muzurka (from La Ciapa Rusa).
Tarantella Crotone.
Che di Napoleon.
Another no-name waltz.

That is my entire Italian repertoire.

A couple from Ciapa Rusa on the Hascy. Great tunes from this band.

Do "The Italian Waltz" and "Carnival of Venice" count, or are they English?

My other melodeon's a fiddle, but one of my Hohners has six strings! I also play a very red Hawkins Bazaar in C and a generic Klingenthaler spoon bass in F.!! My other pets (played) are gobirons - Hohner Marine Band in C, Hohner Tremolo in D and a Chinese Thingy Tremolo in G.

Well, I'm cheating really since I'm not sure that Moresca Nuziale by Riccardo Tesi/Daniele Craighead is strictly Italian, besides which I certainly can't play it, but it is in my favourite half dozen tunes from anywhere! Some links:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8TQpAKUPPk - starts 1m54s in - this is where I first heard it years ago on one of my Ritmia LPs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLSm5iE9Vos - starts 2m16s in - RT playing it live.

This one, from Ciapa Rusa, Le stesse cose ritornano

With apologies for my spelling, here's my attempt at this a few years ago. Fits beautifully on a 2 row.

You can hear the original here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV8_Pj2tIy8 - first tune in a set of waltzes. As you'll hear, there's a countermelody which is rather lovely.

Mazurca Padovana and Scottish Polesana, both played by the fiddler Silvano Brancalion (from the area of the Po delta south of Venice):

I can't figure out how to quit but I will no longer check this group and have deleted all shortcuts to it.

There is a lovely tune that I know only as le polka italien.  There are two YouTube links below.  I play the same version as the amazingly impressive youngsters - but not as well.
