1977 Di Giorgio Classical Guitar - The emotion one feels in playing a "Di Giorgio" is incomparable, as it allows us to savor even more deeply and intimately the warmth, atmosphere, expressiveness and sweetness of that extraordinary music that is Bossanova. A BIT OF HISTORY Di Giorgio classical guitars boast a tradition of over a hundred years. They are one of the greatest artistic expressions in the field of violin making, the essence of Brazilian music, in particular of Bossanova: many artists have contributed to writing the history of this extraordinary brand including Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Roberto Carlos, Marcos Valle, Dorival Caymmi, etc. The "Violões Finos Romeu Di Giorgio" factory was founded in 1908 by Romeu Di Giorgio, born in Rome in 1889, a pupil of a violin maker who made violins. Over time, Di Giorgio turned into a small industry of acoustic musical instruments (guitars, violins, violas, cellos) also used by European immigrants at the turn of the century. Around the forties, under the name of "Indústria e Comércio de Instrumentos de Cordas Di Giorgio Ltda", the factory settled in São Paulo and began to develop the construction of classical guitars (violões). In the 1960s, with the birth of Bossanova and under the direction of the founder's son Reinaldo Di Giorgio, the brand became the main supplier of high-class and quality violões.
