Liuteria De Ninno

- Handcrafted Acoustic Guitars - - Chitarre Acustiche Artigianali -

I'm Giorgio De Ninno, I build acoustic guitars in my little workshop here in the heart of Italy, tucked between hills of oak trees. I like to mix what I've learned from tradition with ideas that push things forward, so every instrument has a contemporary spirit and a heritage-inspired aesthetic Sono Giorgio De Ninno, costruisco chitarre acustiche nel mio piccolo laboratorio nel cuore dell'Italia, immerso tra colline di querce. Mi piace fondere ciò che ho imparato dalla tradizione con idee che guardano al futuro, così che ogni strumento abbia uno spirito contemporaneo e un'estetica ispirata al passato
