Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll fall in love
Your heart is home
When you are young
Among the seven hills of rome

The world is old but love is new
And when in rome your heart will tell you what to do
You'll feel a glance
And a happy circumstance
Has made you know you've suddenly found romance

So fall in love
Your heart is home




You've made a heaven
The seven hills of rome

In conclusion, the song "Seven Hills of Rome" by Mario Lanza is an ode to love and its ability to transcend time, space, and age. The lyrics suggest that Rome is not just a place but a feeling, and falling in love in the city is like discovering a piece of heaven on earth.

Mario Lanza was amazing. He was simultaneously a great tenor, a
marvelous recording artist, a global movie star and a highly sought
after concert performer. A splendid book captures his talent, passion
and love of his art: A KID FROM PHILADELPHIA, MARIO LANZA, THE VOICE OF
THE POETS. It is a beautiful homage and should be read while listening
to Mario sing. No one could sing like Lanza. He was unique and special.

Some of Elvis' singing scenes from his movies were thought up from some of Lanza's & Dean Martin singing scenes. For example, the Bossa Nova Baby scene from Elvis' Fun in Acapulco movie and this scene here are similar. It's the same theme and settings, but different styles of music. Elvis was influenced by both Dean and Mario. Check it out.

Lanza è stato e sarà per sempre un tenore insuperabile. (a me particolarmente il film Arrived. Romano mi è piaciuto molto) però sono d'accordo con Parmarola 2012 nel dire che il libro sulla vita di Lanza: UNA VOCE UN ARTISTA è molto bello!!!

Not seen this film for a couple of years (not on DVD yet). It was kind of a 'B' movie for Mario but still nice. Some of the singing is great so thanks for posting
