Кастельфидардо оплакивает уход из жизни 4-х мэтров, Италия

Nazzareno Carini, Elio Gabbanelli, Armando Bugari, Pippo di Filippucci
Армандо Бугари (Armando Bugari )- основатель фабрики Bugari Armando скончался в понедельник 23 октября 2017 года в возрасте 81 года.

Армандо Бугари был энергичным, открытым, харизматичным человеком. В 1997 году он попал в автомобильную аварию, получил серьезные ранения, и в течение последних 20 лет страдал от последствий этой ужасной автокатастрофы, не имея возможности двигаться.

Наззарено Карини - скончался во вторник, 17 октября 2017 года, в возрасте 84 лет. Фирма Carino Carini, которую он основал, единственное место, где можно приобрести нужные запчасти и аксессуары для аккордеонов и баянов.

Семья Carini занималась производством аккордеонов в течение более чем семи десятилетий, а фирма Carino Carini предоставляет детали, части аккордеона практически для любой фабрики аккордеонов.

В последние годы  Наззарено Карини передал дела компании своему брату Демитрио. В настоящее время бизнес продолжает вести следующее поколение семьи под брендом Carini «De Na» srl;

Элио Габбанелли - продюсер аккордеонов Габбанелли (Италия) скончался в субботу, 21 октября 2017 года, в возрасте 58 лет;

«Пиппо» - Pippo di Filippucci, легендарный основатель знаменитого итальянского ресторана «da Pippo» (который теперь находится рядом с театром Астра), ушел от нас в субботу, 21 октября 2017 года, в возрасте 87 лет.

Ресторан «da Pippo» был самым популярным местом для встреч и приема пищи всех посетителей Кастельфидардо.

Почти каждый, кто имеет отношение к аккордеонному международному братству, захаживал сюда поесть и пообщаться с друзьями и партнерами. Сыновья Пиппо - Этторе и Франко - успешно продолжают дело отца в «da Pippo».

Trivia Reports, Accordion in 1888 Early Motion Picture Footage - UK

The earliest celluloid film was shot by French inventor Louise Le Prince using the Le Prince single-lens camera made in 1888. The oldest surviving — and perhaps the first ever — live-action motion picture footage is a snippet of film known as "Roundhay Garden Scene" made by Louis Le Prince in 1888.

The clip, which runs for less than 3 seconds, shows Le Prince's family and a friend walking in a garden in Leeds, England. Le Prince made two other motion pictures around the same time, one of traffic on Leeds Bridge and one of his son playing the accordion. Then he strangely disappeared without trace. The film survives.
