In the late 1800s, Romagna sees the leaping dance typical of the local countryside and the new partner dances that were all the rage in the Central Europe of the time blending in a creative and altogether original way.
The passion for new dances spread quickly all over Europe, and in Romagna violinist Carlo Brighi was the first to be smart enough to understand the importance of the social and cultural changes of his days.
The importance of Brighi’s work is huge: now remembered as a Strauss from Romagna, he blended different cultures, leaping dances from Romagna farmyards with waltzes, polkas and mazurkas from Central Europe, he reworked his material and gave rise to something new, a musical genre still having a leading role today, and Romagna people welcomed this music that was meeting their need to be together, assimilated it, reworked it and made it their own to the point to feel the masses their own folk music: and undoubtedly wide-ranging phenomenon reached our days with deep and indelible marks.
