Cornamusa (f)
(with) definite article: laBagpipe: any type (even if foreign to the local tradition)
Generic term for all kinds of bagpipes, Italian or otherwise; Spelt Cornamuʃa, it is mentioned as a synonym of Tibia utricularis in Carlo d'Aquino, »Lexici militaris«, pars II (Romæ, MDCCXXIV [i.e. in Roma, 1724]); According to Baretti, who spells it Cornamúsa, it is "a bag-pipe"; Also mentioned, with the same spelling, in Gianfrancesco Rambelli, »Vocabolario domestico« (Bologna, 1850); According to Marcuse (us usual, ignorantly parroted by Podnos), it is a "mouth-blown bagpipe of the Abruzzi [sic], Italy", referring to Baines as her source, who doesn’t explicitly name that region, but dubiously mentions "southern Italy and Sicily" (➺ p.95), instead, where it is usually called a Zampogna, however. The only exceptions are the names and terms used in one of the many dialects, and those in "Arbëror" and "Griko" (dialects spoken in the Italo-Albanian and Italo-Greek communities respectively); NB¹: "Far cornamusa" is an expression mentioned by Baretti, who translates it as "to make one believe something that is not credible" (e.g. The moon is made of green cheese); NB²: ➺ Scupine and Totorosse; NB³: ➺ Scialumò; NB4: ➺ Piva dal carnér; NB5: ➺ homonyms and related terms.
