Summary

[edit]
Description

Pietro Battaglia, the last of D.C.'s itinerant hurdy-gurdy men, 7/19/25 Washington Post. The article reports:

There were twenty of more of these picturesque music-makers here once - all hard-muscled and hard working Italians. They lived down in 'Little Italy', just south of the District Building, where Pietro now lives. Pietro is the last. And soon he will be gone. He is going to quit and go into something more profitable.

Battaglia attributed the decline in the hurdy-gurdy's popularity to radio and electric phonographs.
