Antonio Bonaldo played in the band from when he was 9 or 10 years old, barely big enough to hold his instrument whilst marching, until 1949 whilst under the directorship of Bepi Legaz. Antonio has sent some lucid recollections, such as the practise sessions being at “Betania”, one of the pieces they played was “Giovinezza” *(adding that Armando still knows the notes), the “repertorio” changing as political circumstances and various “liberatori” dictated.

Band member names he recalls include: Gianni Baldini (Bussani) Miculinzi, Franco Baricelli, Denzio (Fradel de Lipatula), “i fioi e el fradel del maestro Graziano Pagan, Mario Braghessi, and Armando Penso”, and added that they were others of his age group.

Italo’s brother Mario also played at that time. Italo adds his recollections:

The 1945 photo is of particular relevance in that it shows, all assembled together, Antonio Bonaldo, Antonio Simicich and Bruno D’Agosto, all current recipients of the Bollettino Lussino! Together with Marcello Ostroman, who features in other photos, this represents a high proportion of musical talent within our readership. Connections with many family members and friends will undoubtedly be made.
