The “Museo della Fisarmonica” of Stradella

Stradella is a small town on the other side of the Po River.

What can you see in Stradella, what is it known for? Without a doubt for the Accordion Museum , inaugurated in 1999 and named after Mariano Dallapè, who in 1876 started the construction of accordions.
Dallapé then inspired several local artisans to dedicate themselves to the production of accordions.

The numerous accordion factories that have sprung up in Stradella, precisely because of the fame it has achieved worldwide, have given work to several local people over the years.
Over time, unfortunately, this instrument has become less and less sought after.

In any case, the history of this instrument and its evolution in the city of Stradella can be explored in depth by organizing a nice visit to the The “Museo della Fisarmonica” which boasts a permanent exhibition.

The “Museo della Fisarmonica” of Stradella is perfect for a trip to the Oltrepò with children, because it is suitable for all age groups.
It is also accessible to those with motor difficulties and is an indoor activity, so it is also ideal in case of bad weather.

It is an interesting cultural trip for everyone in Oltrepò Pavese.
