Here are the peasants of the South, listening religiously to music, who can distinguish at a stroke between Verdi and Leoncavallo -Vittorio Bodini-.
The musical repertoire of the traditional Apulian band is characterised by transcriptions of opera anthologies, symphonies, symphonic marches and religious music, performed in itinerant form especially during patronal festivals and processions linked to the rites of Holy Week, also using special wooden structures installed in squares and called soundboxes.
