Italy's pop superstar, Jovanotti, performs his hit song, the dance party anthem known as "L'Ombelico del Mondo" or "The Bellybutton of the World" at San Francisco's Stern Grove Festival. Rome once called itself the naval or center of the world, and Jovanotti's song is certainly a celebration of Italy, but it's also a shout out to a new millennium and cultures from all over the world. Play it loud.
