Canti alpini is an Italian folk music genre deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of the Alpine regions of Italy. Embodying the spirit and valor of the Italian Alpini troops, the mountain infantry of the Italian Army, the songs often convey themes of love, nostalgia, camaraderie, and the hardships of mountain life. Rich in harmony and male choral arrangements, canti alpini typically involve robust, hearty vocalizations that capture the echoes of the majestic peaks and valleys. The genre is characterized by a strong sense of community and history, often performed by choirs like Coro Grigna or ensembles such as Fanfara Montenero, who wear traditional mountain uniforms, adding to the authenticity of the presentation. The music resonates with both the pride of Italy's Alpine troops and the broader regional identity.
