DiDonato Guitars was established many years ago as a workshop of bowed instruments near Venice, Italy. Great passion for legendary guitarists and the stifling rigidity in following the "Ancient Mith" of classical lutherie, brought the concept of new instruments free of every restriction without any limitation of shapes and materials, coupling wood with aluminum, which is already used for its tonal properties. Every single guitar is one of a kind.
Hell&Heaven Chapter One is inspired by hell. Made out of a very old (approximately 200 years) piece of walnut from a deconsecrated church in Venice, Italy. The surface has been fire treated and has a "moving flames" body - 22k gold leaves and red varnished flame maple. All metal surfaces were drilled with a small mill, giving them a "trypophobic" finish. The bridge has been crucified with a very old (approximately 200 years) hand forged nail.
The installation, as described by Enrico Di Donato:
I hid a lot of messages about the eternal relationship between mankind and hell. The panel was developed with the help of the fifth grade class, managed by professor Susanna Fiori, of the Artistic High School in Venice. They help me to develop the canvas and its frame. This canvas is intended to have a very Popular representation of the hell, with a mix between old images and very new ones.
