EXPERIENCE, TRADITION and continuity ...
My name is Martina Gabrielloni and after years of study ended with a degree in International Relationship , at the Macerata University, I entered in the world of work and, more particularly, in the world of accordion. The love for music and especially for the accordion has been rooted in my family for many years.
Already in the early 1900s my paternal great-grandfather, Nazareno Sampaolesi, was building "harmonic reeds" in Castelfidardo which he then sent to the United States to the first Italian accordion manufacturers.
Then my grandfather Erminio Gabrielloni, together with his brother Adalberto, continued this family tradition of building "harmonic reeds", supported by the love of the accordion, with which they enjoyed playing.
Subsequently, my father Nello Gabrielloni decided to continue the tradition, dedicating over 40 years of his life to the accordion and the world that revolves around it. Years in which he accumulated experiences in Castelfidardo at the Excelsior Accordions company , and all over the world, in close contact with the various levels of production, trade, reparation of the instruments and with accordionists of all musical genres, including my uncle, Dr. Valentino Lorenzetti, well-known accordionist and concert artist of world renown.
Finally, the tradition for the construction of the "harmonic reeds" to date is carried on by my brother-in-law Jurgens Ciccarelli and also by my sister Chiara, a great accordion fan, who enjoys playing for our family on festive occasions.
For all the cultural baggage received as a gift from my family and especially for the experience I have gained over the years thanks to the constant support of my father and for the passion I have for this fantastic instrument, I feel I can have the necessary skills to help anyone who needs qualified intervention.
