Luigi Locatto has been settled for about thirty years in the Piedmont region, near Turin, at Pino Torinese.
Luigi Locatto is one of the best Italian luthiers of today. As most of his fellow luthiers, he has acquired his know-how and his convictions through restoration work on historical instruments (Panormo, Manuel Ramirez, Enrique Garcia ...)
He has made copies of Torres, Lacote, Simplicio, Fleta, Hauser ... and especially Enrique Garcia.
In 1996, the design of the guitar head already asserted this Enrique Garcia lineage and this heritage. A lineage that is fully reflected in the musicality of this instrument.
Luigi Locatto claims this cultural affinity when he says: "If you get me to listen to a sound that is alien to my culture, beyond my understanding, then it will probably won't move me" (Orfeo n ° 6).
