Florence
Beyond the Known
First illuminating the world with the Renaissance and standing as an enduring symbol of creativity and artistic mastery, Florence inspires a visionary collection born beneath Brunelleschi’s iconic dome. Eight unique guitars, crafted from the very essence of the Cathedral’s stained-glass windows, tell an unprecedented story of Italian art.
The Vision
The Eye of Florence
A project conceived by Fabrizio Paoletti, as a tribute to the timeless beauty and ingenuity of Florence, land of his birth and source of endless artistic influence. Inspired by the dome of the Cathedral and its iconic “eyes,” this exclusive collection merges music, art, and architecture into a lifetime experience.
The Craft
Made in Italy
Each of the eight guitars is sculpted from premium aged chestnut wood and adorned with 24k gold. 6,000 Venetian mother-of-pearl inlays trace the Cathedral’s history across the fretboard, top, back, and sides, with a design inspired by the iconic Renaissance stained-glass windows of the dome, transforming each instrument into a living work of art.
A Hidden Gem
A Piece of Florence
Each guitar in this collection holds a hidden treasure — an authentic fragment from the Cathedral. This rare piece of history, embedded within every instrument, connects its owner to Florence’s legacy, preserving its timeless beauty, history, and art in a truly unique way.
The Guitars
Eight for Eternity
Inspired by the artistry of Donatello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Castagno, each guitar reimagines the stained-glass windows of Brunelleschi’s dome through wood, gold, and mother-of-pearl — turning visual art into a tactile experience painted with light.
The privileged owner of each instrument will forever treasure a one-of-a-kind work of art.
