La zampogna a chiave in Sicilia
2006
Esistono in Sicilia due diverse varietà di zampogna (ciaramedda), caratterizzazioni regionali del più tipico strumento a fiato del contesto agropastorale mediterraneo. In quasi tutta l’Isola è presente la zampogna “a paro”, la cui denominazione si deve all’eguale misura delle due canne melodiche.
