The article is in Italian, but you can get more or less the same information in English visiting the official page of the Participatory Lithology project: http://www.pibinko.org/participatorylithology/
This guitar was given as a present by Vittorio Giacomelli to Edo Giacomelli, his younger brother, in the early Sixties. It was then given by Edo Giacomelli to Andrea Giacomelli around 2005. Since then it has been used in various gigs and musical situations (including the riff for the super-scary Revenge of the Killer Chihuahua and of the Zombies..you can hear it in this trailer).
This instrument is often seen in performances of the Jug Band Colline Metallifere (Metalliderous Hills Jug Band).
This was a long talk with Disma Pestalozza and Alessandro Diegoli, providing breaking news on Participatory Lithology, but also going into various flashbacks related to the pibinko.org network. These included “The Revenge of the Killer Chihuahua and of the Zombies” (2006), the ancient game of palla 21, buiometria partecipativa (participatory night sky quality monitoring), Aunt Eda’s yummy recipees, insight on Tatti, Southern Tuscsany, and how the COVID-19 lockdown is lived in lesser-known rural areas..all these stories are documented on the sito pibinko.org. You may consider using this page as an entry point.

As of March 25, 2020, these instructions are available only in Italian. If we start getting a lot of requests for classification from outside Italy we will consider translating them into English.
Meanwhile, please see if you can make sense of them anyway from the original article (there are some photos to help), or write to micalosapevo@pibinko.org for clarifications.
Caterpillar on RAI Radio 2 is one of the longest-running and most followed radio shows in Italy. We were honored to have our first public presentation of the project we started on March 21 with an interview by their crew. The audio is, of course, in Italian:
