Three Cities and a Guitar: The Biography of Pete Tarzia


Pete Tarzia with “I Gondolieri”

Pete Tarzia was born in Brooklyn, August 26, 1908. His parents later took him back to the Southern Italian city of Reggio Calabria where he grew up with three other brothers. When he was about 10 years old, he was playing in an area that contained World War I munitions. The result of handling non-detonated grenades left him totally blind, having lost his left eye and destroying the vision in his right eye. It was even too painful to be in any kind of light.

With these injuries and an extremely impoverished, rural life, he remained in a protected environment. However, one day, a village mandolinist heard of his condition, sought him out, and offered to teach him inside the family home. He learned to play music in the darkness of the interior. A Roman doctor heard about his case, and evaluated his optical injuries. Eventually, he was fitted with a glass eye, and the doctor performed a miracle by restoring the sight to Pete’s right eye.

While growing up in Southern Italy, his father commuted back and forth between America and Italy. Each time he would return, Pete’s mother would be with his father long enough to sire two more sons. In 1926 Peter,
his father and his brother Paul, who was also born in Brooklyn, returned to the United States, barely in time to escape the closing of immigration to southern Italians. The disastrous Sacco & Vanzetti trial had labeled all Italians as anarchists. Thus, most of the family was lucky to return when they did since the rest of them were never able to join them.

At the age of 18, he worked at many odd jobs, such as sweeping floors and running errands for Maytag Company and other retail stores in North Beach, he would do anything to earn money to study guitar. Eventually, he learned to repair and to build accordions for the Guerrini accordion factory. The piano accordion hub of the world was Columbus Avenue, and Pete wasted no time connecting with Italian musicians. By the mid 1930’s, he was one of the original members of The Aurora Mandolin Orchestra. Having learned to play the guitar, he now provided the orchestra with his musicianship, and his compositions which are still performed today by the orchestra. He collaborated with some of the most famous and talented musicians of his generation: Rudy Cipolla, Tony Flores, Gino Pellegrini, Frank and Lawrence Andrini, Matteo Casserino, and Nick Sfarzo. Most of these musicians, as well as Pete, had musical ties to the Giotta Family and the Caffe Trieste. Pete also formed “I Gondlieri” performing with Olga Sbragia and continued to collaborate with lyricists such as Eileen Erbe, Diane Berman, Pietro Centoni. His son, Ron Tarzia, collaborated and played with his father for social events and family occasions. .

In North Beach, Pete began as an entertainer in a nightclub that later he bought, owned, and operated the Vieni Vieni nightclub (Stockton at Broadway). Many Italian performers appeared there, including “Papa Gianni” and Ida Giotta. Pete also appeared often at the Balalaika restaurant, the Sinaloa, and the Bocce Ball. Pete had dreams in his heart and never gave up pursuing them. He even appeared on stage in the chorus of Verdi operas with the San Francisco Opera.

In 1953 after returning from Italy, he found an unscrupulous partner had swindled him and left him bankrupt. He managed to pull himself together but in the midst of that heartache, he suffered a heart attack. A young man in his late forties, he began to compose in his forced leisure. He gave birth to so many beautiful songs and melodies. The Caffe Trieste is proud of its association with Pete Tarzia and is pleased to keep his repertoire as part of its tradition..

COTATI ACCORDION FESTIVAL
14th ANNUAL
August 28 & 29, 2004


Zighi Baci

“Sheri Mignano’s Zighi Baci (pronounced ZIGGY BOTCH-chee) band likes to play dance music in the Italian “Ballo Liscio” style: waltzes, mazurkas, polkas, rhumbas, tangos, tarantellas, paso dobles, jotas, and marches. You’ll hear most of them starting at 10:15am, Saturday August 28th.

A hundred years ago, Italian dance hall music saturated popular culture with the Viennese school influence; it later fused with Latin rhythms and Italian melodies to create a broader appeal. By the mid-1950’s, the next generation of Italian-American composers were introducing these dance genres to San Francisco Bay Area audiences in cafes and nightclubs. Zighi Baci performs Italian standards and music written by Bay Area composers such as Frank & Lawrence Andrini, Peter Tarzia, Rudy Cipolla, Gino Pellegrini, Mike Corino, and other Italian immigrants.

Two thousand four marks Zighi Baci’s debut at the Cotati Accordion Festival! Their performance is dedicated to Sheri Mignano’s grandfather, Francesco Mignano who played the button box, and to Mike Corino, composer, accordion virtuoso and teacher. Fabio Giotta will sit in as guest accordionist at the Festival.

Zighi Baci also performs at Caffe Trieste locations and at other venues throughout Northern California.
