The Italian is the debut album of Italian baritone Patrizio Buanne. It was released in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2005, and in the United States on March 7, 2006.

The album is composed of romantic Italian tunes, influenced by the songs of Italian and Italian-American singers (such as Sergio Bruni and Frank Sinatra) that Buanne heard played as a youth in his father's Italian restaurant. Buanne strives to re-invent the classics of that era with this new album of traditional songs arranged in a fresh style and sung in both Italian and English.

The album has received gold in the UK, Austria and Finnland, platin in New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapur, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan, and even double platinum in South Afrika and triple platinum in Australia.[1] At its peak, it also charted at number five on Billboard's "Top World Music Albums" chart.
