Following the success of the previous editions of the Farfisa Day in Camerano, Ancona, the 4th edition took place at the end July and was organized by its founder, Claudio Capponi of Osimo, the town of Camerano, and the Pro Loco. Claudio has collaborated for 22 years with the company Farfisa, which was founded in 1946 and closed in 1998. After creating the website www.capponiclaudio.it, which to date has exceeded 600,000 visits, the idea was born to organize an annual meeting for all friends of this historic factory that produced very high quality musical instruments and employed thousands of people in the territory around Ancona. The program of this day was: welcome of all participants by the city administration with the screening of two historical films from the early sixties, guided tour of the caves located under city of Camerano; lunch at The Three Oaks with small presents for all participants, and finally a visit to the exhibition of historical instruments made by Farfisa. Amongst the many instruments on display was the historic ‘Compact Duo’ used by Richard Wright of Pink Floyd in live concert in Pompei (without public). This exhibition will soon will become a museum curated by Claudio Capponi and Professor Sandro Strologo. The meeting ended with a concert by the group Farfisa Vintage Quartet, conducted by Maestro Pino Gulizia, former demonstrator Farfisa, and with the singers Angela Ricciardi and Patrizia Giardini. 150 participants attended with event and came from Piedmonte, Emilia Romagna, Lazio, Umbria, and Marche.
