The Show stands will be at disposal of master luthiers, importers of guitars and accessories, lovers of collection guitars, and furthermore will have room devoted to guitar publishing, dedicated magazines and so on.

All acoustic guitar exhibitors are therefore invited to partecipate to this meeting.

Every partecipant will have adequate room supplied with all necessary equipments inside the rooms of the Firmafede Fortress.

The 15th-century fortress, huge in proportions and surface and lying in the heart of the historical centre of Sarzana, has been restored by the Heritage Preservation Board and is therefore perfectly conforming to required standards and supplied with all that is necessary for exhibitions (every year one of the most important national Antiques Show is held inside of it). From this year on, loading and unloading operations will be made even easier.
