The band was mostly brass but there were two drum players (first photo). The band was altogether about thirty musicians but the most impressive were of course those that played the largest instruments.
The second photo shows the two that played a large brass instrument. It certainly has a name but I do not know it. If you know its name, thank you to tell me !

On top of Corso Vittorio Alfieri, a stand had been built for the performance of the local brass band. If you enlarge the first photo, you will see the back of Vittorio Alfieri's statue. The band played several pieces in a row and then stopped for a while to get some vin brulé !
