It would be impossible to understand Roberto Lucanero’s musicality without understanding the intimate link between the place of his birth and his artistic and existential journey. Home, in this case the Marche, invigorates Roberto Lucanero – it lends his already predisposed personality the instruments to work with, and the baggage of experience with which to back up his studies. The artist gives back to his birthplace and to the world in which he works the results of his research, pouring out the fruits of his experience at all times of the year in a continuous creative and expressive process.

On the other hand, Lucanero’s journey could only develop in the place of his birth, the Marche, by definition the land of the accordion. It should not be forgotten that, during the second half of the eighteenth century, the region was the first place in central and southern Italy to produce and market the diatonic accordion. The excellence of the region’s master artisans was such that, even today, all the instruments in the family of accordions are automatically associated with Castelfidardo and the Marche. Lucanero is one of the most important products of this region, and is all the more important because of his combined abilities as artist and artisan.
