Pisilli, Andrea
1923-2006bagpipe maker, also a piper (or vv.) (&c.), mentioned by name
[Born and?] lived in Farneta di Castroregio [ESE of San Paolo Albanese, just outside the current regional border, in prov. Cosenza, Calabria (formerly territory of ancient Lucania)];
Like some of his colleagues (➺ Giuseppe Belviso, Carmine Ciancia, Giuseppe Gallicchio, Leonardo Antonio Lanza, and Nicola Mazzillo), he also made Surdulinas, and played both instruments, as well; NB¹: No additional details found; NB²: Considering the available topographic details, I had the impression that he is the same person as Andrea Pisillo (Calabria), which has been affirmed by Mr. Scaldaferri.
Instrument: Zampogna
