Von wem sind die Schuhe?

Vom wem die Strümpfe? Das sind so Fragen, die, weil sie sich in Schichten und an Schichten stellen, archäologisch und genealogisch angegangen werden sollten.

Un bel concerto di canto nel cortile di Palazzo d'Accursio

Ieri pomeriggio, chi avesse varcato il portone di palazzo d’Accursio, sede dal 1336 del governo della città di Bologna dal secolo XIV, lasciando il bailamme di piazza Maggiore, sarebbe entrato in un’oasi di pace creata dal piacevole concerto di brani lirici eseguiti congiuntamente dalla Corale Vincenzo Bellini di Budrio e dalla Corale Quadrivium di Medicina, diretti dalla maestra Paola Del Verme,…

Guess who was invited to join a mariachi band!

The guitarrón makes my hands look petite!

Low to high:

ADGCEA

A perfect fifth lower than a guitar.

Also, the high A is down an octave. Or rather, it is at 16' pitch (octave below bass clef range) and the rest are at 8' (bass clef range).

It's fretless, the action and string tension are like double bass viol (huge), and the bass lines are played in parallel octaves!

"This bass is seaworthy."

The band leader lent it to me. I showed him my Italian chitarrone, aka theorbo, and pointed out the similarities:

ADGBEA

ADGB at 8', EA at 16'.

The placement of the major third in the tuning is different (guitar style vs. lute style), and the chitarrone has two reentrant strings instead of one, plus an octave of bordoni (harp contrabass strings).

Italians 🤜🤛 Latinos

I hope to serve this tradition well. I want to learn vihuela, guitarra, y guitarrón. And by "learn guitarra," I mean learn to really wail on it. These people hit on all six and strum to be heard.

I'll have to learn to sing harmony in Spanish while playing.

I'm so excited!

CATCHES ONE'S EYE INSTANTLY AND IS A DESIGN MASTERPIECE IN EVERY WHICH WAY -- THE CAMPARI SODA BOTTLE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the eternal design icon that is the conical bottle in which Campari Soda is still sold today. The futurist design was created by painter, sculptor, and graphic artist Fortunato Depero (1892-1960).

A SMALL HISTORY: "After the Bitter Campari and Cordial Campari, respectively ruby red drink and liquor with macerated raspberries in cognac, the company of Milan’s Davide Campari launched on the market in 1932, exactly Campari Soda, or Bitter with the addition of soda. The drink was no longer being served with the siphon, but already mixed in the right doses in comfortable glass bottles in the shape of an inverted cup.

The bottle was ordered to Bordoni glassware in the early thirties and had to be made of frosted glass with two embossed lines at the base with the words “SPECIAL PREPARATION, Davide Campari & C. MILANO”, while in the center field was to appear as "CAMPARI SODA." All these features, combined with the special shade of red and the absence of the label, instead of the typical alcohol on the market, made of Campari Soda a product that broke conventions and, because of its shape and the advertising psychology, opened new sales strategies. Interesting to note that the registration of the name “Campari Soda” in 1932 served to secure the name of the product consists of the words “Campari” and “Soda”, but the three-dimensional mark could not be deposited (shape of the bottles, embossed character of the name) because of the lack of a legal definition.

The success of the new drink is due also to the fact that Campari expanded the scope of the product by installing supplying machines in public places, by inserting a coin, they released bottles. The distributor was completed by a figure conceived and always realized by Depero which reflects the inverted cone reason, the same as the bottle. The Trentino artist had long worked on this figure, elaborating several sketches from the early years of the association with Campari, which began in 1924. It can be assumed therefore that the company had to study the Campari Soda at the end of the twenties and that Depero had been responsible for providing the first plans for an advertising presentation, projects that were later used in the early thirties.

Davide Campari had the merit of being among the first Italian industrialist to notice how advertising could influence in a decisive way the visual perceptual faculties of the consumer. The partnership with Depero did not tie only to the design of the product, indeed. The Rovereto artist produced an enormous amount of sketches, ink, collage of colored papers, plastics for advertising projects, of which only a fraction was then realized. In 1931, demonstrating his commitment also in the publishing field, he published the Numero Unico Futurista Campari, a collection of graphic and poetic creations of advertising, combined with the launch of the Manifesto dell’Arte Pubblicitaria Futurista."
