The History of Les Nuits de la Guitare de Patrimonio

The guitar tradition in Patrimonio began almost fifty years ago with Gilbert and René Dominici, local amateurs whose skill and diverse repertoire attracted a following beyond their town. Their informal concerts at the village café became a gathering place for musicians of all ages, including professionals like Claude Ciari, who credited the community with reigniting his passion for music. These gatherings foreshadowed the current Patrimonio Guitar Festival, embodying its warm and inclusive spirit from the start.
