Every classical guitar enthusiast know the piece Feste Lariane by Luigi Mozzani. For all the rest of the world this beautiful piece is rather unknown.
Lario is the Latin name of the Lake Como and Feste Lariane means Parties on the Lake Como.
In the 1906 Luigi Mozzani presented anonymously a Serenata at the musical contest of the Italian magazine Il Plettro, organized by Mr Alessandro Vizzari (guitarist and publisher). This composition won the first prize with golden medal and then it was published with its caption: the notorious Feste Lariane, air with variations. This piece, despite being known today as attributed to Manuel Ferrer, in effect gave him a great reputation, especially abroad.
