The country's historical contributions to music are also an important part of national pride. More than other elements of Italian culture, music is generally eclectic, but unique from other nations' music. Italian music has been held up in high esteem in history and many pieces of Italian music are considered high art. Italy was also an important country in the development of disco and electronic music, with Italo disco being one of the earliest electronic dance genres. The Canzone Napoletana-the Neapolitan Song, and the cantautori singer-songwriter traditions are also popular domestic styles that form an important part of the Italian music industry, alongside imported genres such as jazz, rock and hip hop from the United States. Opera is integral to Italian musical culture, and has become a major segment of popular music. Instrumental and vocal classical music is an iconic part of Italian identity, spanning experimental art music and international fusions to symphonic music and opera. Italian folk music is an important part of the country's musical heritage, and spans a diverse array of regional styles, instruments and dances. Italian music innovation – in musical scale, harmony, notation, and theatre – enabled the development of opera, in the late 16th century, and much of modern European classical music – such as the symphony and concerto – ranges across a broad spectrum of opera and instrumental classical music and popular music drawn from both native and imported sources. In Italy, music has traditionally been one of the cultural markers of Italian national and ethnic identity and holds an important position in society and in politics.
