LIST

In Piedmont and neighboring regions:

Rinaldo Doro. His instruments of choice are the diatonic accordion and the Hurdy-Gurdy, even if he does not disdain the bagpipe and everything that produces sound. He is currently a research fellow at the CEC (Centro Etnologico Canavesano) of Bajo Dora (TO). He carries out historical-musical research activities, with important publications for the Piedmontese and European regional culture. These publications set an example that university structures should follow first.

Enzo Conti. From 1976 he approaches to "folk" music starting to play the diatonic accordion that belonged to his great-grandfather.
In 1977 he was one of the founders of the Piedmontese popular music group "Tre Martelli" , with whom he still plays today.
Thanks to the ethnomusicological knowledge acquired in 40 years of commitment in the sector, he was consulted as a teacher and speaker in stages, seminars and conferences on Piedmontese popular culture in Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Spain. In 2007 a volume was published that collects the Proceedings of the conference "History and folklore in the Monferrato by Giuseppe Ferraro" (Carpeneto, May 2006), containing a report entitled: "The Piedmontese ethnic dance: survival and current events".
