Pietro Carbognani used to "just listen to Italian music, but without any passion." However, things began to change when he dated an Italian fan of Salsa. "Then I heard the real thing," Carbognani says, "Hector Lavoe, Cheo Feliciano, Joe Cuba, Fania. I fell in love with that salsa, the one from 1965 to 1975. I couldn't get enough of it. I bought 150 LPs from a DJ, and then kept on buying more."
