100th Year Celebration of the Death of Paolo Soprani - Italyby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
| In the presence of the niece of Paolo Soprani, Mrs. Elena Soprani, major celebrations took place in Castelfidardo on the 20th of February at the Auditorium San Francesco. Castelfidardo City Hall in collaboration with the Circolo Culturale Filatelico Numismatico “F.Matassoli” with its compere Pigini hosted a unique event to honor Castelfidardos' historically most important citizen, Paolo Soprani, the man who gave birth to the production of accordions in the small city of Castelfidardo. All authorities of Castelfidardo City were present and everyone received a warm welcome by the Mayor Roberto Ascani and the director of the Museum Castelfidardo, Christian Riganelli. Castelfidardo’s Historian, Beniamino Bugiolacchi (Chronology of Italian Accordions and many other publications), gave a very interesting view of the history and life of this unforgettable personality, not only for Castelfidardo, but the entire world of the accordion. For this special occasion, a personalized stamp was put into circulation by the Luxembourg Post Office (picture above). The students of the local Music School Paolo Soprani made a lively animated event with their music. To complete this day of remembering – an evening concert took place in the Theatre Astra with Luigi Presta, who won this concert during the PIF 2017 and Manuel Marchegiani, winner of the Varieté PIF 2017 category who is a student of Renzo Ruggieri, Artistic Director of the PIF 2018.
