Welcome from the Italian Consul General

Guitar represents a symbol of Italian musical tradition and I welcome this year’s edition of Boston GuitarFest with special guest Oscar Ghiglia.

The festival is for musicians and music lovers alike who wish to celebrate the power of music and its universal means of human expression.

Join this wonderful experience of art and entertainment and, as a popular Italian song goes “Lasciatemi cantare con la chitarra in mano, lasciatemi cantare sono un italiano” (Let me sing with the guitar in my hands, let me sing I am Italian).

—Giuseppe Pastorelli
Italian Consul General
