A couple of information about Charles Venturi posted by Massimo . And ' who died in 1986 , about 45 years old, a few years after having achieved success in television as the movie. To understand the magnitude of the artist just think that , boy , went to the farms around the countryside to perform as an accordionist in the festivals . Until the age 'of 25 years alternated the study by himself with the profession of blacksmith ( ! ) . Then he embarked on the " career " of representative of trade continuing to play the accordion . Only twenty-nine and is ' dedicated to the attivita' of accordionist . E ' became the Italian legend , but when someone asked him , since' our often played abroad and often in France , as they played the French Alpine , schermendosi said that in every street corner there was one more 'good of him. I do not think telling the truth ' ............. His humility' 'was more ' great artist .
