Paolo Soprani 100 Jahre Gedenkfeier/Castelfidardo – Italy

Poster
Paolo SopraniIm Auditorium San Francesco, Castelfidardo (AN), findet am Dienstag, dem 20. Februar, von 9.00 Uhr bis 22.30 Uhr eine ganztägige Veranstaltung zur Feier des hundertjährigen Ablebens von Paolo Soprani (1845-1918) statt, der als Begründer der Akkordeonherstellung in Italien gilt.

Das Programm beinhaltet einen Vortrag von Beniamino Bugiolacchi, eine Ausstellung und ein Konzert mit den Akkordeonisten Luigi Presta und Manuel Marchegiani.

Paolo Soprani begann 1863 mit der Herstellung von Akkordeons, die sich zu einem großen Geschäft entwickelten und andere dazu inspirierten, das Gleiche zu tun. So begann eine Tradition der Akkordeonherstellung in Castelfidardo, die bis heute andauert.

Der Legende nach bat im Jahr 1863 ein österreichischer Pilger, der vom katholischen Wallfahrtsort Loreto zurückkehrte, um Gastfreundschaft für die Nacht in dem Bauernhaus von Antonio und Lucia Soprani bei Castelfidardo. Als Dankeschön schenkte der Pilger den Sopranis ein Akkordeon, das für ihren Sohn Paolo von großem Interesse war.

Am nächsten Tag zerlegte Paolo das Akkordeon, um zu sehen, wie es funktionierte, und dachte sofort, dass er ähnliche Instrumente bauen könnte. Paolo, der auf dem Bauernhof der Familie arbeitete, eröffnete eine Werkstatt in seinem Haus. Im Jahr 1872 eröffnete er mit seinen Söhnen Luigi und Achille eine Fabrik für sein expandierendes Geschäft im Zentrum von Castelfidardo.

Neben der Herstellung von Akkordeons war Paolo Soprani auch ein begabter und populärer Spieler und wurde zu einer bekannten Persönlichkeit, der oft auf Messen und Märkten in lokalen Städten spielte und seine Instrumente spielte und verkaufte.

Die Akkordeonindustrie wurde in Castelfidardo mit der Gründung der Paolo Soprani Fabrik geboren, mit anderen Unternehmen, die sich in Konkurrenz stellten, da die Nachfrage nach dem Akkordeon ständig zunahm, unter anderem von seinem Bruder Settimio Soprani. Paolo Sopranis Akkordeons wurden nach Frankreich und dann weiter exportiert und erreichten Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts Amerika.

Im Jahr 1900 hatte das Unternehmen einen großen Erfolg auf einer Messe in Paris; Paolo wurde Mitglied der Akademie der Erfinder in Brüssel und Paris und traf den Präsidenten von Frankreich. Er arbeitete bis zu seinem 70. Lebensjahr in seiner Fabrik, als seine beiden Söhne das Unternehmen übernahmen. Er starb in seinem Haus am 20. Februar 1918, als er 73 Jahre alt war.

The tutor is Paul Flannery who is a piano tuner by trade and over the years started repairing and tuning melodeons and accordions. Repairers/tuners all have their own way of working and therefore Paul imparts his knowledge and how he approaches repairs. Previous attendees have been pleased with Paul’s explanations and advice.
