"Love, From Italy" is the debut album of the Italian classical crossover vocal group Andiamo. It was released on April 3, 2007 in the United States.

The album is a collection of thirteen traditional and famous Italian tunes, many of them "Canzone Napoletana". The songs are arranged in a popera style to give them a more contemporary feel. Although "Love, From Italy" is a studio album, Andiamo did not use any pre-recorded or computerized music while recording the CD; they simply used an orchestra and their voices. This was done so that the album would have a truly "live" sound.

At it's peak, "Love, From Italy" reached number fourteen on Billboard's "Top Classical Crossover Albums" chart.
