“Lo Scacciapensieri” better known in Sicilian as the Marranzano, is an almost mythological instrument. It is a symbol of the region and its traditions, whose distinctive sound has always echoed across the island.

As if a “scacciapensieri” (literally, a “thought-dispeller”) could help us throw our hearts over every obstacle, becoming at the same time, roots and impulse toward the future.
