I, too, played "Alla Barocco" in band in the 70's and loved it. The tune never left me, and I would play it on the piano from what I could remember. I listened to the Goose Creek Band playing it (on the internet) and it was so wonderful to hear it again. I sort of chuckled to hear the kid playing it on the accordian as it was basically what I would play on the piano. Check out Goose Creek Band's version.
There's a kid on here who plays Jigsaw's classic "Sky High" on the accordion.
I, too played "Alla Barocco" in band in the mid-1970s and loved it. If you Google it, there's an mp3 floating around out there somewhere, and yes, Caesar Giovannini is his real name. He's in his 80s now.
I dragged around a dim, almost illegible copy of the conductor's score for that for thirty years from one house to another. Around 2000 it was one of the first things I used to learn how to make MIDI files. Had to figure out each part from the score and enter them note by note.
