The Jug Band Colline Metallifere Cappello Tour: how did it go?

Compositions

Between June 25 and July 5 we have been touring Germany for the fifth time with the Jug Band Colline Metallifere. We had a pit stop open rehearsal on the way up in Mezzolombardo (TN), and then events in Munich, Stuttgart and its surroundings, in the agricultural heart of Baden-Württemberg. We had another round intertwining rock’n’roll, territorial connections, old acquaintances and new contacts.

We are now back in Southern Tuscany, in the “Colline Metallifere”. In the coming weeks we will be publishing a few more excerpts from this “movie”. In the meantime we wish to thank all thos who helped to make the project possible**, and enjoy the pics!

Qualcuno che la sa lunga Mi spieghi questo mistero
Il cielo è di tutti gli occhi Di ogni occhio il cielo intero


È mio quando lo guardo Del vecchio, del bambino
Del re, dell′ortolano Del poeta, dello spazzino




Non c’è povero tanto povero che non ne sia padrone
Il coniglio spaurito Ne ha quanto il leone


Eh, eh


Il cielo è di tutti gli occhi Ed ogni occhio se vuole
Si prende la luna intera Le stelle, comete e il sole


Ogni occhio Si prende ogni cosa e Non manca mai niente
Chi guarda il cielo per ultimo Non lo trova meno splendente


Spiegatevi voi, dunque In prosa od in versetti
Perché il cielo é uno solo E la terra è tutta a pezzetti		Can some wise guy explain me this mystery
The sky belongs to all eyes, each eye has the whole sky


It is mine when I look at it, it belongs to the old man and to the kid
To the king, to the greengrocers, to the poet and to the roadsweeper


There is no poor who can be so poor not to be its owner
And the scared rabbit has as much of it as the lion


hey hey


The sky belongs to all eyes, and each eye, if it wants
Can have the whole moon, the stars, the comets and the sun


Each eye can have everything, and nothing is ever missing
The last person to watch the sky will not find it less shiny


So can you please explain, in a novel or in verses
Why while the sky is one, the earth is torn to pieces

Tattistampa and the Jug Band Colline Metallifere on Arte TV (from March 6, 2026)

In the media, International

Wolfgang Scheibe, aka Tattistampa, is one of the two characters (the other one is Roman Arens) whose life in Maremma (Southern Tuscany) is told in a documentary by Susan Gluth for Arte TV. And what happened…the Jug Band Colline Metallifere ended up being featured in the story!

We see Wolfgang, juggling between his hand-made printing business and other whereabouts in the hills, while he is organizing the September concert for the closing of the Jubel Tour, so you will see a couple of rehearsals, and the final event.

The documentary has been broadcast by Arte in Germany on March 6, 2026, and can also be streamed at: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/120878-004-A/re-wenn-toskana-auswanderer-aelter-werden.

Once more, thanks to Susan Gluth for the opportunity.

And an anecdote: in May 2025, when we had the first day of shooting with Susan, she told us: on September 20 or 21 we will have to shoot the final concert scene…how can we make sure people will be attending? Well…we did our homework based on our event creation and promotion history (https://www.pibinko.org/promotion-communication-facilitation/), and this is what happened: https://www.pibinko.org/la-jubelfesta-a-tatti-gr-come-andata/.

The Jubelfest in Tatti (Southern Tuscany): how did it go?

Compositions

[TRANSLATION TO BE COMPLETED]

If you are in a hurry

This was more or less the climax of the event:

Should you be interested to replicate this experience at your place: info & booking: jugbandcm@pibinko.org or +393317539228.

If you are in less of a hurry

This was the presentation of the event: https://www.pibinko.org/jubelfest-2025/

How many people?

In a meeting held on Sep. 12 with the friends from Circolarte (the space where the micro-exhibition was to be held, and where the bar was located) the key question was: how many people will attend? As usual, it is difficult to count people in an event of this type.

An estimated headcount, averaging three or four guesses at the end of the event are between 80 and 100 dancing souls in the final part. Let’s say 90. With an official resident population of 189 (2021), this is like having 600000 people in Milano [1]. Around half the the attendees were not from Tatti.

The other element to be considered is that this was a perfect end-of-Summer day: sunny, warm, breezy here and there. So many people decided to reach a lesser-known inland hamlet to attend an event where they didn’t really know what was going to happen, rather than going to the beach.

In the initiatives organized by the pibinko.org network this is not a novelty…you really don’t know what is going to happen, it you are in an interdisciplinary event.

Una cosa simile capitò a cavallo fra il 2009 e il 2010 a Torniella, frazione di Roccastrada (GR), in cui si fece una festa di “capo danno” in cui arrivano 40 ospiti da fuori paese (allora sui 400 residenti), di cui una metà soggiornarono per tre giorni e due notti per una “experience” che alcuni ancora oggi definiscono “oltre Jodorowski”. Abbiamo poi visto e vissuto varie altre occasioni simili. Vi invito a leggere questo articolo sugli effetti della rete pibinko.org del 2023 per un approfondimento..i dati non sono aggiornati, ma lo spirito del discorso è sempre valido.

Ecc. ecc. – vedi http://www.pibinko.org/promozione-comunicazione-facilitazione/ per un elenco di iniziative organizzate dalla rete pibinko.org a partire dal 2007 (con un “prologo” di cose che parte dal 2000) e che non include una serie di concerti con la Jug Band Colline Metallifere a partire dal 2018. Quelli li trovate qui: https://www.pibinko.org/jugbandcollinemetallifere/esibizioni/

Da dove venivano?

Come punti più a nord di cui abbiamo conoscenza, ci ha fatto piacere la visita di Benedetta e Vito da La California, frazione di Bibbona (LI) e di Stefano e Marusca (la fan n° 1 di Simone Sandrucci) da Pomarance (PI). Un’oretta di viaggio in auto. Da sud non mi è chiaro.

Cosa volevano?

Forse un fiorino? No, quello caso mai dovevamo chiederlo noi… ma qua la dissertazione potrebbe farsi lunga. Già troppe persone mi dicono che scrivo troppo, e comunque ho anche altre cose da fare, tipo mezza giornata di ferie dopo un mese di organizzazione della Jubelfesta, in mezzo ad altri progetti…

per questo mi limito a ricordare un paio di appuntamenti (trovate via via tutto su https://www.pibinko.org/calendario/).

Chi dei partecipanti volesse a questo punto rileggere la presentazione della Jubelfesta, alla luce della “experience” vissuta, può rivedersi: https://www.pibinko.org/si-avvicina-lesta-la-nostra-jubelfesta-tatti-gr-21-9-25/, e ci fa piacere se ci dà un riscontro (micalosapevo@pibinko.org o 3317539228).

Sigla

Brufolazzi, tapparella giù e poltiglia più ascella purificata: ti ricordi
che meraviglia la festa delle medie?
“Tu non vieni”. Non importa, sai, ci avevo judo. Ma se serve vi porto i dischi così potrete ballare i lenti, “Porta pure ma non entri”.

Ma perché siete così? Io che credevo, io che speravo. Parteciperò, mi
autoinviterò, dannata festa delle medie.
Mi presento: burp, haha, ciao ragazzi. Faccio un vento e gli cambio il
clima, temporeggio bevendo spuma chiedo fonzi e mi danno avanzi. Cristo,
perché?

Parapiglia. scatta il gioco della bottiglia Se avrò culo potrò
“Tu non giochi” baciare. “Ahhiam fatto le squadre prima” palpare “Ma se aspetti fra un po’ finiamo” amare.
Sì va be’ però poi balliamo, “Non ci rompere i coglioni”.

Sul piatto gira un geghegé, danzo da solo e me ne vanto. Fantastico zimbello, io Non
consumerò, non deglutirò questa amarissima aranciata.

No, invitato no. niente fonzi no sul bicchiere no niente nome ho.
Ballo lento no, ballo forte no, la bottiglia no, gioco scopa no. Amicizia
no, cortesia no, convenienza no, ampio parcheggio no.

Basta Questa festa è insoddifacente, ma ne ho un’altra nella mia mente. Una festa molto
particolare dove saranno invitati tutti: molti amici, molti nemici anche Panino.


Forza, Panino.

Sep. 21, 2025: Jubelfest in Tatti (Southern Tuscany) with the Jug Band Colline Metallifere

Announcements

Musica, mappe, stampe e vinili…dai colli, dalle valli, dalle piane e dai fienili…

Sunday, Sep. 21, from 4 to 8PM CET the first edition of the Jubelfest will take place in Tatti, Southern Tuscany.

The Jubelfest is a civic cultural event where participants will be able to experience, and contribute to, a melting pot of food for their mind and their stomachs. The hosts for the afternoon will be Jug Band dalle Colline Metallifere (JBCM), an international and inter-generational collective created in 2018 with the intent of combining music and professions around to create outreach on its territories. The JBCM has over one hundred events in its track record and is has recently toured Germany for the fourth time in what was called “Jubel Tour”.

For your mind: the band will be proposing in a street music combo its enticing folk-blues-rock repertoire, next to a micro-exhibition including hand-made prints and T-shirts (produced by Tattistampa), vynils, ancient games, maps, and books…this is a sample of objects that surround and inspire the JBCM’s activities (and are often created or kept by them, or by folks they collaborate with).

For your stomach: it will be possible to taste peculiar and high-quality products from Tuscany and Germany, in addition to a selection of wines (not just from the Metalliferous Hills, where Tatti is located). For the tasting, booking is required by September 19. Please book by writing to micalosapevo@pibinko.org or contacting +393317539228.

The Jubelfest might also be an opportunity to get to know Tatti and its surroundings, thanks to the trails proposed by the local Amministrazione Separata Beni Usi Civici (see link).

To add to this platter a little more international spice, some parts of the fest will be covered by ARTE TV, which since May is producing a documentary featuring Wolfgang Scheibe, the one-bass-string player with the JBCM, aka Tattistampa.

To wrap up the evening, as the 21st will be a new moon night, if the sky is clear it will be possible to take some measurements of light pollution and night sky quality, in the context of the BuioMetria Partecipativa project.

The Jubelfest is created and managed by the pibinko.org network (active since 2007 in interdisciplinary projects concerning the promotion and development of lesser-knon territories), with support by CircolArte Tatti and Associazione Beni Usi Civici di Tatti (additional support by other subjects is in the process of being finalized).

Last, but not least, the Jubelfest will be the opportunity to have a preview of the activities that the pibinko.org network is planning for the 2025-2026 Winter, and -who knows- maybe develop new collaborations.

Attending the Jubelfest is free, but it will be possible and appreciated if you leave something to further support the organizers and their projects (see https://www.pibinko.org/support). Non-Italian-speaking visitors are encouraged: the JBCM speaks Italian, English, French, German, and Portuguese.

If the weather will not help us, we have a plan B for an indoor fest. In this case, a reservation to micalosapevo@pibinko.org or +393317539228 will be much appreciated (our premises are not huge).

The JBCM Jubel Tour (June 19-29, 2025). A photo-summary

Compositions, ,

The Jug Band Colline Metallifere, the inter-generational and international collective created in 2018 in Southern Tuscany to convey music and territorial issues has just returned from its fourth tour in Germany.

Thanks again to Huober Brezel, Thomas, Gerhard S., Gerhard G., Tatti Stay & See, Paul, Erika, Samuel, Luca & Cristina, Crissi, Florian and several other folks who helped to make this a successful mission. Ten events in ten days between Munich, Stuttgart, and its surroundings. Some friends from past years, as well as new situations. All of which very interesting and animated.

With Simone Sandrucci’s mobile studio we recorded various sets and in the coming weeks we will be selecting some material. To see all of the Jubel Tour articles in this blog: https://www.pibinko.org/en/?s=jubel+tour.
