The Italian New Wave is a genre of music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Italy. It is characterized by a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds, often with a strong emphasis on synthesizers and drum machines. The genre is heavily influenced by the post-punk and new wave movements of the time, as well as the disco and funk sounds of the 1970s. It is often characterized by a dark, moody atmosphere, and often features lyrics that are socially conscious and politically charged. Artists associated with the Italian New Wave include Franco Battiato, Lucio Battisti, and Pino Daniele.
