Romana (f)
(with) definite article: lanames of bagpipes (&c.) in connection with their pitch only
Small type; According to Castagna, “the Minculpop [i.e. Mussolini's Ministry of Popular Culture; ws] considered the zampogna a backward, inferior instrument", and he suspects that the definition romana is a fascist "mark", that was perhaps an attempt, by using a certain "evolutionary" tendency, to make the instrument acceptable to the culture of the regime; According to Castagna/Morello, the name is a "vezzeggiativo" [pet-name]; NB¹: They define an instrument in G# as a Romana della 3 palmi (➺ p.16/18).
Key: G or G♯ (NB²: Compare Diciùattu); NB³: Note the odd difference between the pitches mentioned in the original (Italian) text and the translation (G/A, which appears to be an unfortunate "typo").
