Giovanni Navone, son of Domenico, born in Villanova di Asti in 1839 came from a well-known family of musicians. Today, we consider him the founder of Piedmont's guitar school for his having trained almost all of Turin's guitarists of his time. ...]Within the present collection, the rhapsody, Souvenir de St. Paul stands out. Giovanni Navone received the First Gold Medal Prize while performing it in the middle of September 1892. From the Foreword by M. Bazzotti]
