	Loreto
		Loreto carried out the most important role in the comparisons of the Ottoman invasion: the legend takes shape in the immediately next years to the fall of Bisanzio (1453), with the need to transfer in the West the sacrality of the Terrasanta, in a climate of large religious fervor in sight of the crusades.
		The moment of greater reputation for Loreto is had with the battle of Lepanto, whose victoria from Pope Pio 5th is attributed to the intercession of the Loreto Virgin.
		Loreto therefore, becoming rich of symbols in several the centuries, is still today one of the most important goals of the Pilgrimages of Madonna.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Santa Casa di Loreto (Holy House of Loreto)
		Loreto is a small town a few miles south of Ancona and near the sea.
		The shrine and church of Loreto are indeed often mentioned; the church is said by Paul II in 1464 to have been miraculously founded, and it is further implied that the statue or image of the Blessed Virgin was brought there by angels, but all this differs widely from details of the later accounts.

	Accordion History in Italy
		Before discussing the history of the accordion, it is important to point out that in the first half of the 19th century Italy was not the geographical and political entity we know today.
		It may well have been in Loreto that Soprani bought the first Austrian or French accordion, and certainly the energetic nature of the town enabled him to promote and popularize the accordion.
		Thanks to excellent sales figures and the fact that orders were coming in from all over Italy, Soprani's brother Settimio, who until then had worked with his brother, decided to set up business alone and in 1872 opened his own workshop imitating Cesare Pancotti who in 1865 had started one of his own in Macerata.
