STRADELLA AND CASTELFIDARDO

Torino / Thursday 21 September 2023

Concert programme by Giulio Castagnoli

Samuele Telari ph. Gianluca Platania

The second half of the 19th century saw the rise of the accordion, thanks to new developments in technology and craftsmanship in the Italian towns of Castelfidardo and Stradella, which became famous for their reeds, bellows and keyboards. Of course, no one could have imagined that the accordion would become the star of a show as colorful and explosive as this.
