Well, I'm going to be honest: I have almost no idea what distinguishes Italo from other '80s synth pop, aside from it being from Italy. I certainly don't know what the connection to disco is, if there is any. The four on the floor?
What I do know, having started listening around randomly, is that I fucking hate Italo.

Whatever you do, please don't end up making a set of liquid. A lot of people seem to think the two sounds are synonymous, which is not true. You'll also find that the classic stuff is a lot slower than contemporary material, closer to the jungle 160bpm tempo than modern 175bpm speed.
