MORE THAN AN IDEA,
NOT A SIMPLE
COMMUNITY
The Accordionist is a project that starts as a union of intents, to then take different forms that are constantly evolving.
One thing is certain, its origin: Castelfidardo, the home of the accordion.
Who plays a bellows instrument makes a unique gesture: pushes the wind with the strength of a hug, selects the harmonic voices with the intelligence of the fingers and creates the music. And the sound of the accordion has no boundaries, conquers the world and creates union.
Now it’s online too!
The Accordionist is the community that combines passion for an instrument and a simply unique musical genre.
WHERE THE ACCORDION FEELS AT HOME
CASTELFIDARDO
FROM CASTELFIDARDO,
A SOUND
THAT CONQUERS
THE WORLD.
In 1863 a young farmer, Paolo Soprani, senses that a small portative organ can become an entire orchestra. At that moment, the accordion and its industry was born, which develops a craftsmanship so accurate that it is transformed into art manufacturing. Today Castelfidardo is the leading country in the world for the production of the most prestigious brands and it is the second home on the identity card of every player. Castelfidardo is in the Marche (Italy) between the hills and the sea with a population of about 20,000 inhabitants and it is world famous for the International Accordion Prize.
