Vittorio De Sica is not primarily known for his music career, but rather as one of the most important figures in Italian cinema. Born on July 7, 1901, in Sora, Lazio, Italy, he was an actor, director, and a key proponent of the neorealism movement. Despite that, he also had a lesser-known facet of his career as a singer.

Although De Sica's musical releases are not the centerpiece of his legacy, they encompass a celebration of Italian culture and classic songs. His albums, such as "Canta Napoli," showcase traditional Neapolitan songs, while "Antologia" and "I grandi successi" are compilations of his most appreciated works. The album "Sono tre parole" and songs like "Parlami d'amore Mariu'" are a nod to his cinematic work, bringing a vocal interpretation to themes and styles redolent of his films. "The Art & Voice Of" delineates a broader collection of his vocal talents.

Yet, it is important to stress that Vittorio De Sica's main contributions remain in the world of film, with classics such as "Bicycle Thieves," "Umberto D.," and "Shoeshine" under his directorial belt, works which have had a lasting impact on global cinema. His singing career is an interesting but small footnote to his expansive artistic footprint.
