The Spanish may have invented the guitar, but the Italians also made the instrument their own! Over the centuries, a diaspora of Mediterranean guitar virtuosi enthralled the Western world while their musical idioms have continued to fascinate, from opera fantasies to idiomatic folk dances. In the modern era, Mediterranean composers and players continue to hold a much-cherished place in the hearts of audiences world-wide.
