International guitar meeting in Modena, March 1, 2008

Simona Boni just forwarded to me information on an international guitar meeting to be held in Modena, Italy on March 1, 2008. PDF files in English and Italian contain more details.

The program is still incomplete, but this is what has been scheduled so far:

Two expositions will show documents, pictures and letters and the art of lute-makers (guitars and mandolins) like Gatti, Mozzani, Gallinotti and Masetti).
