 Madonna "Ciao Italia" = Madonna, her Band & her Dancers Performing at Their Best!!!!!!! April 25, 2009
Gary Covington (LA)
This is one of the greatest Madonna dvd's ever. It was copyrighted in 1988. So this is the 1980's version of Madonna. I remember when I heard my first Madonna song, back in the early 1980's, it was the big smash hit "Holiday". I've been a big fan of hers every since. She is beautiful, she is sexy, she is very talented and she is an outstanding "once in a lifetime" entertainer. She's an Inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I especially love her early songs. This concert dvd is packed with her early hits, and I love them!!!!
The songs include:
1. Open Your Heart
2. Lucky Star
3. True Blue
4. Papa Don't Preach
5. White Heat
6. Causing a Commotion
7. The Look of Love
8. Medley: Dress You Up/Material Girl/Like a Virgin (outstanding!!!!)
9. Where's the Party
10.Live to Tell
11.Into the Groove (awesome!!!!)
12.La Isla Bonita
13.Who's That Girl
14.Holiday (One of the happiest & greatest songs of all time!!!!!!) Madonna, her band & her dancers are awesome in their performance of this song. Words just can't describe just how good it is.
The total running time is approximately 101 wonderful minutes. If you like Madonna, you'll love every minute of this one. I highly recommend it. Thanks!!!!!

Madonna - Ciao Italia (Live from Italy) is an entertaining live performance from Queen Madonna. This woman is amazing, she sure can work a crowd! Standout performances include: Live to Tell, Where's The Party, Holiday, White Heat, and Open Your Heart. I highly recommend this gem of a purchase, enjoy!
Madonna is electrifying on this show. April 15, 2008

WOW. Even though this concert is from the 80's and doesn't have the technology from today's concerts, This is got to be one of the best concert shows ever. Madonna's talent and the world's number one show woman on stage is what is most impressive of this show. The opening of the show is amazing and exhilarating as so is the rest of the show.
If you want to see pure talent and charisma on stage this is the concert you should get. AMAZING! Madonna.
Impacting Beginnings! March 30, 2008

The excitement on Madonna's opening performance is just a glimpse into just how fabulous this concert maintains itself through until the very end. There's extraordinary singing, excellent choreographed dancing, live screaming fans, interactions with the crowds, glimmering lights, remarkable stage productions, fabulous dancers, unbelievable stamina, pretty costumes, but most of all a look into the very beginnings of someone who has grown to be one of the most legendary Super Stars of all times, MADONNA!
At a time when her life had a busy schedule from a full Summer tour, soundtrack album, and movie she shows how determination, hard work, and dreams can come true. It was her last show on tour live in Italy so she occasionally shed some tears. One can't help but notice how she poured her heart and soul out especially in certain dance numbers. The pacing, dancing, and action was non-stop and enjoyable! Throughout the performance you see a cute little 13-year-old boy named Chris Finch who shows outstanding dance talent as well as 3 backup singers, including Niki Harris, Donna De Lory, Debra Parson, and two additional male dancers, including Shabba Doo, and Angel Ferreira. Madonna greets her fans in Italian and interacts with them throughout the show even asking them at the very end for a comb to fix her hair.
The 14 songs were variations of pop, 80's dance beats, and some rock'n'roll. Her new image or persona was apparent to her viewers as she now had short bleached blond hair, no jewelry, and a slimmer silhouette. The costumes Madonna wore during the tour were designed for quick changes where she only switched tops, jackets, hats, pants, or skirts. I noticed she kept a bodysuit throughout the whole show. She occasionally interacted with band members and displayed great nonverbal communication with them throughout.
Every song was mesmerizing, fabulous and spectacular. I would recommend this video for anyone--including children--who want to know how Madonna began and just how far she has gone. It's amazing how her transformations have ultimately led her to now reveal herself as a true Icon for fans, viewers, media, friends, family and Hollywood. As she continues to grow it seems apparent she is uncovering who she really is. Although, the mystery will always be there it is evident Madonna's beginnings were a stepping-stone to her culminating success today!
