There's a reason certain sounds have become legendary: they arise from unique and unrepeatable combinations. This exhibition offers an extraordinary journey to discover the true cultural pillars of modern music, revealing to the public the precious historical instruments from the Vintage Authority association's collection. The event, organized in collaboration with the Guitar Show, faithfully reconstructs the sound of the greatest guitarists of all time through the exact combinations of their era: vintage guitars, original amplifiers, and the pedal and effects setups that have shaped rock history.
It will be a journey into the sonic DNA of legendary artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and David Gilmour, up to the monumental sound of Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple) and the overwhelming virtuosity of Yngwie MalmsteenNot just an exhibition, but a true immersion in the golden age of rock.
