Our Story
The Vintage Authority Music Association was founded in 2008 by the three founding members :
Simone Falavigna
Roberto Gandolfi
Cristiano Maramotti
Initially as a WILL to RESEARCH and later as a means of CULTURAL PROMOTION of the guitar and so-called “Vintage” instruments. Those produced in the Golden Era that runs from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s. Guitars and Amplifiers that are still reference today and have helped write the history of “Modern” music with the birth of a variety of genres.
The association has also created and promoted several events, chief among them being Hendrix Day, unique in Italy in Format and Content. Also during these years Vintage Authorithy has grown and consolidated itself by creating a first-rate staff through the entry of new members :
Mariano Freschi – Rock Memorabilia ( Piacenza )
Vincenzo Santochirico – Santochirico Guitars ( Matera )
Ivan Torelli – Musician and Teacher ( Parma )
Stefano Prinzivalli – Events Communication and Marketing ( Parma )
In 2019 comes APS recognition for the association and to celebrate 10 years of events the first edition of the VINTAGE GUITAR EXPO at Ruote da Sogno in Reggio Emilia. A success and the consecration of the most COOL fair in the Italian Vintage scene.
“Sometimes you will want to give up playing the guitar, you will hate the guitar. But if you are faithful to her, she will reward you.”
