I love "Vittoria mio core". I'm also easily bored by some of those Arie
Antiche - "O cessate di piagarmi" is one that puts me to sleep - and
"Amarilli" isn't much more exciting. But I have always loved "Vittoria",
and also "Sebben crudele", "Pur dicesti o boca bella", and "Quella fiamma
che m'accende". Though frankly, for my tastes, I'd much rather sing songs
by Tosti and di Capua than by Lotti and Scarlatti.
