I have one also. The only information on the instrument is "Belcanto", "Made in Italy" and "L/606/7" I can't find any record of an accordion manufacturer called Belcanto.
The button accordion was invented in 1829 by Cyril Damien while the piano accordion was invented in 1852 by French accordion maker Bouton.
The accordion was originally developed in Germany in the early 19th century, with the earliest patent for an accordion-like instrument filed in 1822 by Heinrich Band. However, it gained popularity and further development in other countries, particularly in Austria and Italy. The instrument's design and variations evolved over time, leading to its prominence in various musical traditions worldwide.
