 Picture above: Taken in 2018 when Rino Galassi and wife Vanda were still working daily at the factory. Pictured here with son Renzo.Rino Galassi (September 28, 1928 - November 09, 2022) has passed away at the age of 94. He began bellows production shortly after the end of World War II in 1948 when he was 20 years of age. He wanted to open his own business working as an artisan in accordion construction. At that time, things were much easier to start your own business. So, he began learning the production of accordion bellows. As he lived in Osimo Stazione where two bellows producing factories were close by, he had easy access. These producers were like most of the producers then, working in the lower floor of the home, with the family living upstairs. The home was the working production place, which meant "always ready for work, when needed". Rino setting up a working area and after six months, he was daring enough to challenge the world with his own bellows production. Rino passed all his knowledge on to his wife Vanda and his two sons Renzo and Reno. Condolences to all the Galassi Family from Accordions Worldwide.
