Francesco Falanga (flautist and piccolo-player)

Origins

Born in Potenza in 1962 and then he lived in Genzano di Lucania (PZ), Italy.

His experience of being a "poor" student who managed to get professional results  only after great sacrifices of both him and his family, has been determinant during his life. 
Like Orazio Flacco, an intellectual from Lucania who was the fírst historical emigranti, Francesco Falanga feels condemned to put up with the cultural disorganization of Lucania. 
The "Lucania question", like the whole "South question", is still actual. 
The purpose is not hiding behind nostalgic memories,
but rather spreading and and making other people know music. 
The flute and the piccolo that Francesco Falanga actually plays are the products of years of personal research and studies during which he worked at the instument mechanism and tuning, 
and that improved sensibly the sound and its tuning. 
This is another evidence of his personality that, right because of his simple and modest origins, 
has become strong and determined.
