The harp (ribeba in Piedmontese, trunfa in Sardinian), is a musical instrument widespread all over the world, known by more than 1300 names. It has become an emblem of emigration and local identity, and is characterized by the different materials used for its construction: bamboo in the East, bronze and brass in India, iron and steel in Europe. In Africa, it was introduced with European colonization. Until the early twentieth century, over one and a half million ribebe were produced in Valsesia to be exported all over the world. A newspaper was also printed in Milan, “La Ribeba, gazzetta delle colonie valsesiane”.
