One little concern, I'd like to _add_ one of the flashy ECDs (Maybe Cin's reconstruction of Fain I Would? Or Stingo?). I worry the current list would make it look like you have learn Italian to be one of the cool kids. 

Also, as much as I love Villanella, I think the chase and catch of Rosiboli or Amoroso might present better to an audience.
