After completing his scientific studies, he enrolled at the Civic School of Lutherie, where he studied with Lorenzo Lippi and Tiziano Rizzi, graduating in 2009. During these years he also gained workshop experience with Marco Viola, a maker of archtop guitars, and developed his knowledge of restoration, repair, and precise adjustment of plucked instruments. In 2015 he opened his workshop in Paderno Dugnano, near Milan, where he builds classical guitars and continues to work on fine adjustment and restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHis current model has been developed over the last five years and is rooted in the French school of guitar making, with Daniel Friederich as a central influence. After receiving an original Friederich guitar from the 1970s, Bazzana studied and characterised the instrument, using it as a starting point for the development of what later became the foundation of his own model. Its construction includes an asymmetrical bracing system with a closing bar only on the treble side, a detail that reflects his personal approach to balance, response, and tonal definition. His broader philosophy follows the idea that every component of the guitar must vibrate in its entirety, allowing the instrument to respond with elasticity, nuance, and a clear connection between player and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Danilo Bazzana N.76 REG Limited Edition is a traditionally constructed classical guitar made for the Roma Expo Guitar Limited Edition project. It pairs a torrefied spruce top with Madagascar rosewood back and sides, while the sides are doubled with cypress on the inside to support projection and response.

Coloured pieces of wood combined with resin produce a subtle three dimensional effect, giving the decoration a distinctive depth while remaining elegant and finely controlled. The guitar has a remarkably open and sustained voice, with notes that speak easily and remain even as they decay. Its sound is compact and well integrated, especially in chords, where the individual tones form a clear musical unity rather than competing with one another. The torrefied spruce top gives the instrument immediacy and colour, while the Madagascar rosewood contributes depth and richness. The doubled cypress sides add focus to the response, helping the guitar project with clarity while preserving the natural elasticity of its traditional construction. The result is an expressive instrument with long sustain, refined balance, and a wide range of tonal colours available to the player.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53810507219277,"sku":"S18933","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/danilo-bazzana-REG-2026-53.jpg?v=1777550809"},{"product_id":"angelo-vailati-2026-no-262-reg-limited-edition","title":"Angelo Vailati - 2026 No. 262 REG Limited Edition","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAngelo Vailati was born in Lombardy in 1977 and has worked as a luthier since 2002.

He graduated with highest honours from the Civic School of Lutherie in Milan and, in 2005, completed a post diploma internship in the workshop of Enrico Bottelli, where he deepened his understanding of construction technique and tonal refinement. In 2006 he attended the José Romanillos Guitar Making Course in Sigüenza, an experience that strengthened his search for a personal voice marked by resonance, mystery, and evocative colour.

Its structure is entirely wooden, without carbon, and the Indian rosewood used for the back and sides has been seasoned for approximately fifty years.

The soundboard is built over a fully spherical template, creating a domed top across the entire surface rather than in a single direction. This curvature allows the top to remain very thin while still retaining the stability needed for a concert instrument.

Its double top construction gives the sound immediacy and carrying strength, while the cedar top contributes warmth and colour. The sustain is long, with especially singing upper notes, and the instrument offers a broad dynamic range that allows the player to move from a quiet, controlled sound to a much fuller presence without losing tonal stability. In this Ducale Double Top, Maguolo brings together the classical guitar tradition and a contemporary construction concept in a voice that is direct, resonant, and musically flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53810528813389,"sku":"S18942","price":9990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/marco-maguolo-REG-2026-15.jpg?v=1777551617"},{"product_id":"luca-santambrogio-2026-romanillos-reg-limited-edition","title":"Luca Santambrogio - 2026 Romanillos REG Limited Edition","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLuca Santambrogio was born and raised in the mid 1990s in a small town in Brianza, close to Milan. Music was present from his earliest years, and the guitar soon became the instrument through which he discovered a particular sense of intimacy, with sound created directly by the touch of the player. After receiving his first guitar at the age of thirteen, he spent long days playing and studying, gradually understanding that the instrument would become a central part of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAfter completing secondary school and earning a degree in industrial design, Santambrogio began looking for a path that would allow him to connect design, material, and handwork in a more tangible way. The discovery of the Civic School of Lutherie in Milan brought together his interests in music, wood, construction, and manual craft. In 2022, after four years of study, he graduated with full marks, having learned the fundamentals of building and repairing plucked string instruments. In 2023, supported by the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte and the Una scuola, un lavoro programme, he entered the Milan workshop of Marco Bortolozzo as an apprentice, where he refined his knowledge further. Today he works from his own workshop in Desio, in Brianza, dedicating himself to construction, repair, and restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Luca Santambrogio Romanillos REG Limited Edition is a traditionally constructed classical guitar inspired by the Spanish tradition associated with José Luis Romanillos. It pairs a spruce top with satinwood back and sides, a Spanish cedar neck, an ebony fingerboard, and an Indian rosewood bridge. The guitar is finished in French polish and fitted with Alessi tuning machines, while its lightweight construction supports an immediate, flexible response under the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe visual identity of this instrument is closely tied to the Romanillos inspiration. The colonnade rosette is enriched by herringbone decoration that continues across the guitar, including details on the headplate and bridge. The mosaics and inlays are made from the natural colours of different wood species, giving the decoration depth and refinement without disturbing the instrument’s classical poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe voice is elegant, balanced, and singing, with deep basses and clear, prominent trebles. Its upper register has an intimate and bell like quality, recalling the calm, inward character often associated with Romanillos inspired guitars, while the overall sound remains bright, articulate, and elastic. The guitar offers a wide palette of overtones and colours, allowing the player to shape individual notes with nuance and to move naturally between intimate expression and a fuller, more projected sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53810531303757,"sku":"S18943","price":6990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/luca-santambrogio-reg-2026-15.jpg?v=1777551705"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/collections\/roma-expo-guitar-2026.oembed","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
