"Santa Lucia Luntana" is a Neapolitan song written by E. A. Mario in 1919. It's title is sometimes written simply as "Santa Lucia," (A Neapolitan song transcribed by Cottreau into Italian) leading to confusion about the two songs. The song is very popular in the repertoire of many singers. Mario Lanza (Mario! Lanza at His Best, 1959); Luciano Pavarotti [The Best (Disc 2), 2005]; and Russell Watson (Reprise, 2003) recorded notable versions. Italian-American tenor Sergio Franchi covered it in 1963 on his RCA Victor Red Seal album, Our Man From Italy.[1]
This song was on the sound track of the 1926 movie, Napoli che canta.
A movie entitled Santa Lucia Luntana was released in 1931.
