Musicologist, accordionist and composer, Paolo Picchio is one of the figures who has most shaped the recent history of this festival: from 1992 to 2013 he served as Artistic Director of the “Città di Castelfidardo” International Prize, and from 1994 to 2001 of the “Astor Piazzolla” International Prize.

Author of studies and lectures worldwide on the accordion and its repertoire, he returns to Castelfidardo to present his new book “Bandoneon e Bandoneonisti,” a journey through the history of the instrument that symbolizes the tango, told through its greatest performers.

The meeting, moderated by Sergio Macedone, is an opportunity to rediscover the historical and cultural roots of an instrument closely related to the accordion, recounted by someone who for over twenty years guided the international growth of the PIF.
