Fratelli Rovetta 1880 Romantic Guitar – very high quality and exceptionally good sounding handmade guitar!

Behind the name Fratelli Rovetta stands a family of guitar and violin makers from Bergamo, Italy.
Antonio Rovetta is the founder of the Rovetta shop. He lived from 1840 to 1884 and built violins in the style of the famous old masters from Cremona. His work is highly praised by experts. Some of his guitars have survived to this day, and their appearance and construction are reminiscent of the guitars made by Genaro Fabricatore.
Antonio Rovetta taught his sons the art of instrument making, and they later renamed the shop Fratelli Rovetta (Rovetta Brothers).
Their instruments are treasured because they are built to a very high standard of craftsmanship.
