One of the most important project of the Association is the reconstitution of the old music of the 1882 Firemen Corps. This task has been performed with great care and it includes also the restoration of the old uniform. Dabiele Bovo, Piero Bonino, Manuela Vinci, Doriano Genta are the people engaged in this project.
A short summary about the musical origins follows here:
The music derives generally from the musical bands of the towns, where the Firemen Corps were present. At the beginning of 1900 the Corps of the different towns improved their organization with new rules and new equipment. But they did not lose their love for music. This tradition is still present. Today we want to reinforce this tradition. That is why the Firemen's Historical Association also plans to create a musical band, similar to these of the XIX-XX centuries. We also intend to constitute a "Firemen Philarmonic" composed of 60 people with their own uniform typical of the second half of the twentieth century. This is our pride, and a nice aspect for the Town thinking of the next international happenings in Turin and in the whole region.
