Traversata is an album by American mandolinist David Grisman, Italian mandolinist Carlo Aonzo, and Italian guitarist Beppe Gambetta, playing guitar, mandolin, and the 14-string harp guitar.

The album comprises Italian-American instrumentals from the early part of the 20th century when Italians migrated in large numbers to the U.S. They called their trip overseas a traversata. In addition to traditional Italian folk music, the album includes versions of "Pickin' the Guitar" by Nick Lucas and "April Kisses" by Eddie Lang.{{cite web|last1=Lankford, Jr.|first1=Ronnie D.|title=Traversata|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/traversata-mw0000015324| website=AllMusic| accessdate=18 December 2016}}
