The Italian guitarist’s tour, organized by EBM WORLD Cuba and sponsored by TravelNet, Color Travels, as well as by the Comunque Viaggi agency, joins those carried out in Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, India, the United States, Switzerland, Mexico and Bolivia.
Another of his Signature guitars, model DLS1, was permanently donated to the Sigal Music Museum in South Carolina, United States, where instruments once played by celebrities such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Frederick Chopin are also kept, the source said.
