Z armoniku v Roč - With the accordion to Roč
The sound of the popular 'trieština', a small accordion with buttons, starts to spread from every corner of the city - from taverns, family houses, streets - and whole Roč becomes on these days an open-air stage with a large fair where the most peculiar stands are those selling and exhibiting Istrian souvenirs and musical instruments.
In this way people have the opportunity to buy and to play trieštinas or simply, just to listen to their sound... On this occasion, different musical workshops, lectures and presentations about the peculiarity of Istrian national instruments as well as scientific meetings about the preservation of the traditional music are also organised.
Every year this small village with just about two hundred inhabitants becomes a unique world centre of this accordion called trieština.
