On Tuesday, 14th September 2010 a historical
decision was taken in the City of Stradella, Lombardia, Italy, between
the multinational Japanese company Roland and one of the oldest
accordion manufacturers in Italy, the company Dallapé.
Dallape was founded by Mariano Dallape back in 1876 and has since remained a family business. Over 134 years later, Dallape Accordions are known for their traditional style and for the precise and fine craftsmenship with which they are made.
Although the Dallape Factory have closed in 2010, they have made a historical decision along with music-making giant Roland to continue the legacy of Dallape and spread the musical stylings of a truly enchanting instrument: the Accordion.
Together, Roland and Dallape have used the classic “Dallapé Sound”
and put into a new digital system, that can easily be adapted as an additional
option to any ROLAND V-Accordion.
The agreement was signed in the office of Mariano Dallapé by Amleto
and Bianca Dallapé and Alfredo Maroni (President of Roland Europe).
The signing was followed by a press conference in the Stradella City
Hall in the presence of Luigi Bruti (Marketing Director of Roland
Europe and a founder of the V-Accordion), the Mayor Pierangelo
Lombardi (City of Stradella), Carlo Aguzzi (Director of the Museum in
Stradella), Giuseppe Zacchetti (Director of the Theatre), as well as
journalists, TV and local media reporters.
The outstanding musical harmony
between traditional and digital music moving "Towards the Future" was
masterfully performed by Maestro Ludovic Beier on his Roland FR-7X and
the “Dallapé Centenario 1976” played by Maestro Gianluca Campi.
