By Stefania Esposito!Traditional Italian music!Themusic of Italyranges across a broad spectrum ofoperaand instrumentalclassical music and a body of popular music drawn from both native and imported sources.Music has traditionally been one of the cultural markers of Italian national and ethnic identity and holds an important position in society and inpolitics.Traditional Italian music is mainly; Opera Folk & ClassicalItaly today is still known for there traditional music, but throughout the years it has started to fade away changing its opera into pop, its folk into R&B and its classical into rap, but there will always be the traditional Italian music!Traditional Instruments!Italy has a lot of instruments when I say a lot, I mean a lot! Its spreads from tambourines to accordions, From violins to mandolins ,from organs to reed-pipes ,I could go on forever (but I wont).The two main instruments are the Accordion and the Reed-Pipe.

Reed -Pipe

Accordion TheREED-PIPEwidespread in Calabria (that's where I'm from!) The reed-pipes sound is given from the particular reeds and from a sack that gives back an air supply. In Calabria the reed-pipes have four/five rods, the sack is made with sheep or goats skin whose size is proportional to the reels.For many years theACCORDIONwas an instrument in the popular and folk-dance Italian tradition. It was born in Italy, Its use is massive in the folk and popular tradition, with the Neapolitan music, and the pinch in Puglia, who recently had a big comeback.Traditional Dance!Italian Folk Dancehas been an integral part ofItalianculture for centuries. Dance has been a continuous thread in Italian life from dancethrough therenaissance, the advent of thetarantella , and the modern revivals offolk musicand dance.In Italian culture, the word tarantella evokes images of a frenzied spinning dance traditionally played at weddings. However, this popular native dance of Southern Italy has a history and myth spanning several centuries. The dance, originally an Italian folk dance of the lower- and middle-classes, has been labeled as a dance to cure sickness and as a dance of courtship.It is considered unlucky to dance the Tarantella alone so it is often danced by couples or by two women.
