Need a little Italian language help

Ms. Haiku

I know there is Viva Italia

How about Viva the Italian crowd or Viva the Italian sound?

How would you write the bold in Italian?

Thank you!

Well, if no one can or wants to help the lovely Ms. Haiku then I'm sure no one will be interested in helping me.

My Italian is not very good.

The Italian Crowd = La folla Italiana

-Lah fol-lah Ee-tahl-ee-a-na

The Italian Sound= Il stile Italiano

-Eel st-ee-eh ee-tahl-ee-a-n-o

Hi there,

Well, Forza Italia is of more frequent use than Viva Italia -which actually is written Viva l'Italia) so I would go for Forza Italia (meaning something like "Let's go Italia").

Hence, "viva the Italian crowd" would be: Forza italiani o Forza ragazzi (let's go folks. The latter is a very common support motto for the national soccer team).

And finally Viva the italian sound: Evviva i suoni italiani


Peace
Caterina

Actually, Forza Italia is now a political party in Italy so it has strong connotations, thus not used as widely.

If you start using Forza Italia, you're immediately considered as a Berlusconi's supporter!

For general use, Viva l'Italia works fine. Same for Viva la gente italiana.

Ms Haiku, what exactly are you trying to convey with these slogans?

I write little synopses on my mlblog listed below of bootlegs I listed to. The band was great, but couldn't hold a candle to the crowd at Milan 06 - as evidenced by the bootleg. After listening to a few bootlegs I realized that the production may not tell the truth or distort the truth of a crowd. However, this crowd rocked whether true or not! Anyway I wanted to write a "Three Cheers for the Milan Crowd" type of thing on my blog when I type in my little synopses.

Ah, ok, I see. In this context, i.e. a music gig, we won't use the Italian equivalent of crowd [folla, gente] in the same sense.

I guess we would say "grandissimi / fortissimi / mitici i fans italiani" as a one-liner.

Btw, I was at that concert and I was totally dumbstruck by the sheer intensity, energy and NOISE of the crowd in Milan!

I had to stop for a second during the ending of Black - which we wouldn't let them finish!! - to take it all in, and then rock out again. It was really fantastic.

Hope this helps, ciao!

God forbid you'd be considered a Berlusconi supporter. You're right, I totally forgot about that "minor" issue", mostly because I live in Argentina... it is a shame, because I love screaming Forza Italia every time the Azzurri play a soccer match.
