His work celebrated the rich culture, traditions, and landscapes of Sicily, an island with a deep historical heritage and unique regional identity within Italy. Campione's songs often featured themes such as love for his homeland, the beauty of Sicilian landscapes, and the vibrancy of local traditions and cuisine. His ability to capture the essence of Sicilian life in his music made him a beloved figure on the island and among the Sicilian diaspora around the world.
His discography is a testament to his dedication to the traditional music of Sicily. With albums like "Sicilia ciuri di zagara" and "Sicilia profumata," he brought the scents and sounds of the Sicilian countryside to life through song. Other titles like "Bedda siciliana" and "La pasta siciliana" celebrated the beauty of Sicilian women and the delights of its cuisine, integral aspects of the island's cultural identity. His music not only entertained but also educated audiences about the rich folklore and the enduring spirit of Sicilia, and "Lu tisoru di rafadali (Folklore Siciliano)” is a prime example of these folkloric narratives. Campione will be remembered for his passionate portrayal of Sicilian life and love and for his role in keeping the island's traditions alive through his music.
