For the first time in the history of our festival!

It's a real pleasure to share the exciting news that the award-winning Italian guitarist Gian Marco Ciampa will give a lunch concert as part of the program for this season's Expo!

Gian Marco Ciampa, born in 1990, graduated with full marks, honors and Honorable Mention in guitar at the "Santa Cecilia" Conservatory in Rome, under the guidance of Maestro Arturo Tallini and Bruno Battisti D'Amario, after having studied in the early years of education with Maestro Fernando Lepri and Maestro Fabrizio Verile.

From a very young age he carries out an intense concert activity that has led him to perform and hold Masterclasses in four continents: Australia, Japan, United States, Argentina, China, Mexico, New Zealand, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece etc. He is also the winner of more than 40 international awards including the "Melbourne International Guitar Competition", "Tokyo International Guitar Competition" and the "European Guitar Competition" which awards him with the Medal of the President of the Italian Republic.

He will perform his program while choosing a different guitar from the Expo for each piece. You won't only be able to test and compare the guitars yourself, but also hear them compared in a professional concert setting performed by this fantastic concert artist!
