I know nothing whatsoever about this song, except that it is for male choir and piano, and that it is unbelievably lovely. Indeed, it seems to be almost unknown, which I find tragic for such a lovely piece of music.

A couple of points. First, the arrangement of the third song "Era nato poveretto" was done by no less than the great pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. The second is that the picture of the Italian Alps in the video of the second song is by no means exaggerated - in the spring and summer, they really look like that, including the unbelievable fields of flowers. (As for winter and the snows, words fail me.) As the slogan says, there is no lovelier country anywhere.
