THis is my favorite Italian poem - it feels like eating chocolate.

Vita de la mia vita,
Tu mi somigli pallidetta oliva
O rosa scolorita;
Nè di beltà sei priva,
Ma in ogni aspetto tu mi sei gradita,
O lusinghiera o schiva;
E se mi segui o fuggi
Soavemente mi consumi e struggi.

Torquato Tasso (1544-1595)

I defy anyone to say "tu mi somigli pallidetta oliva" (honoring the doppi, of course) and not instantly turn into Marcello Mastroianni.
