Bio

VIOLINI DI SANTA VITTORIA are the only representatives of the tradition of the ‘hundred violins’ of Santa Vittoria (Gualtieri – RE ITALY).

This tradition was born when, from the first 800, spread in the countryside of Emilia new dances to popular origin countries from German and Slavic ones, such as polka, mazurka and waltz, the first written documents date back to the 30s of the XIX century.

In particular, in Santa Vittoria is invented a musical tradition that involves the use of only string instruments and involving the whole country at the end of 800, only IN Santa Vittoria, there are 15 dance bands!

The scientific work has been accompanied by a real musical project of recovering the path of so-called violins of Santa Vittoria.
