What a joy to be here with all of you tonight in Naples, Italy, at Teatro Politeama, celebrating Christmas with my family and friends.
You know, it has been for the past 25 years that probably I'll come here in Naples to celebrate my holidays.
Christmas with my family, and that is what Christmas is about.
Christmas is family, Christmas is friends, Christmas in the memory but also in the future.
And it's a joy to be in my hometown to celebrate with all of you.

[applause] Well, let's go back a little bit for many of you who don't know who I am and you see me on this television station.
My name is Pasquale Esposito.
I moved in the United States approximately 25 years ago, and tonight you are going to hear some Christmas carols that touched my life since I moved into the United States.
But also I don't forget where I come from, and I come from this town.
And I start to sing when I was a little boy in the church where Enrico Caruso start to sing, and was a little church choir.
So, I have fresh in my memory singing during the Christmas time this wonderful melody in the church.

[applause] FRATE ALESSANDRO: Thank you, everybody!
Thank you, Pasquale!
PASQUALE: Thank you, thank you, Father, for your amazing voice and being part of this television show.
How I discovered Father Alessandro.
My mother, Nonna Tattina, she used to be your hugest fan.
[applause] FRATE ALESSANDRO: No.
PASQUALE: She's the one who introduced me to you.
She's not with us anymore.
She's watching us from up there.
I wish she was here in the audience.
She will go crazy.
My father is here with all of us tonight.
Vittorio Esposito!

[applause] PASQUALE: What happened during Christmastime, what happened is that a child is born.
What happened to me, I was incredibly lucky.
I was able to discover Christmas again with my first boy, Vittorio, who is now 7, approaching to 8 years old.
Then I had another beautiful gift from God, and I rediscovered Christmas again with Roksanna, and then lately with my newborn, Valentina, who is almost 2 years old.
All these wonderful gifts from God made me discover Christmas again on a different light.
And I wrote a song.
This song talks about a topic that is very interesting.
If you're losing the meaning of Christmas, you can always look in the eyes of a child, and it will make you discover Christmas again.
Enjoy!

[applause] When I was writing this compilation of music, I had to choose between so many beautiful Christmas carols and so many songs, so I was very undecided.

[applause] PASQUALE: It's a joy to share the stage today here in Naples, Italy, with a gentleman I think that represents this city so much.
He's incredibly successful.
Believe or not-- interesting story-- I am the one who was born in Naples and moved in the United States, and guess what.
Sal was born in New York, and he moved back to Naples, so the real American, it's him!
SAL: I am born in Brooklyn.
PASQUALE: In Brooklyn!
Figured.
In Brooklyn.
SAL: Brooklyn.
PASQUALE: So, he's the real American.
I am not American.
