The Di Giorgio historyThe factory "Violões Finos Romeu Di Giorgio" was established in 1908 by Romeu Di Giorgio, born in Rome - Italy, in 1889. He was a pupil of a lutemaker who built violins, and here he started to learn the secrets and the techniques of this fine art. Step by step, the factory "Di Giorgio", initially small-sized, turned into an effective industry specialized in acoustic instruments (guitars, violins, violas..) often used by european immigrants who arrived in Brasil in the first decades of the XXth century.During the 40's, under the name "Indústria e Comércio de Instrumentos de Cordas Di Giorgio Ltda", the factory moves to São Paulo and in this period it develops, in particular, the production of violões (acoustic classical guitars). Such instruments, become very soon popular and start to sign the typical brasilian musical tradition. During the 60's, as soon as Bossanova was born and under the direction of the Founder's son, mr. Reinaldo Di Giorgio, "Di Giorgio" brand devotes itself as the main high-class guitar (violões) supplier for musicians and composers rising in that musical context.Actually established in Franco da Rocha, in the state of São Paulo, with a huge productive surface and a large number of employers, the factory "Violões Di Giorgio", under the direction of mr. Reinaldo Di Giorgio Junior, still produces different models of violões and it confirms itself as one of the best world manufacturer in the field of an inimitable high-class luthery. Owning a "Di Giorgio" guitar, does not mean to have one of the best "violões" only, it also means to enjoy the chance of holding in your hands and playing an instrument that made the history of Bossanova and that is actually the soul itself of the brasilian musical tradition. |
