"Romagna Mia" marked its 70th anniversary. A timeless classic composed by Secondo Casadei, Raoul Casadei's uncle and the king of ballroom dancing. The song, passed down through generations, is an homage to Romagna, its landscapes, people, and traditions. Composed in 1954, "Romagna Mia" has become the musical icon of Romagna, evoking the region's vibrancy, enthusiasm, and nostalgia. Raoul Casadei, who took over as director of the family orchestra in the 1970s, has helped to popularize the song worldwide. Seventy years after its inception, "Romagna Mia" remains a milestone of Italian music, a song that not only narrates the story of a region, but also manages to bridge the gap between past and present, renewing itself and preserving Romagna's musical history.
