3. INTRODUCTION
OfG is an experimental group in the creation and composition of
original works and interpretations of works in general. It is an
alchemy of style and culture exposing the sound.
OfG is also a box that contains not only ideas but also free and
dynamic exchanges with artists with different backgrounds and
international reputation.
The cross expérience of the two musicians gave life to
collaborations with famous artists from the worlds of music,
film and theater, leading to the achievement of a number of
projects with national and international reputation.

4. INTRODUCTION
Remember collaborations with:
Leo Brouwer (Cuban composer, the most prominent figure in
contemporary music in South America)
Egberto Gismonti (the most important brazilian Jazzist) for the
first time allows to use his musics for the concert
“Gismontiana ", written for GuitArt by Leo Brouwer.
Antonella Ruggiero with the project "Sudamerica" (Ruggiero -
GuitArt Quartet), conceived and directed by these two guitarists.
This concert saw its first world performance during "The Forum
di Assago" of Milan and continues to receive praise from the
critics and public across the country.
Their ever-increasing requirement/standard to experiment new
musical expressions, stimulates OfG to create “Histoire du
Tango”, concert- show with the actor Alessandro Haber.
From 2001, this concert-show, on the texts of Borges and the
music of Piazzolla, Gardel, Troilo, was represented throughout
Italy, meeting a great success which got it its participation in
2007 at the "Festival Internazionale Città delle due " Trevise and
Rome.
Among the collaborations, "extra-classical", memorable, the
performance of Electric Counterpoint by Steve Reich at "Musica
e Oltre" Pise and the participation in July 2000, with Steve
Hackett (Genesis member), Frank Gambale (eg Chick Corea band)
and Maurizio Colonna at Guitar Event 2000.
Many festivals are hosted OfG:
Festival “Andres Segovia” of Madrid, Festival International of
Lublin, the III Festival international of Gliwice (Poland), Festival
International of Iserlohn (Germany), Festival international of León
(Spain), Festival Santo Tirso (Portugal) , Festival International

8. THEY TOLD
The most important international guitar magazines
(Classical Guitar, The Guitar Book, Sei rope Ghendhai
Guitar, etc..) are dedicated to these two guitarists, front
and back pages/retrospectives:
The French magazine "le cahier de la guitare" defined the
two Italian virtuosos, performers extremely sensitive and
brilliant.
“Et toujours règne cette impression très pleine dûe à
l’interprétation qui est musicalement très impressionnante
tant sur le plan de l’ensemble que sur celui de la couleur
et de l’expression – très sensibile...les interprètes sont
géniaux”.
Moreover, Oscar Bellomo and Gianvito Pulzone were
inserted in the prestigious book “The Classical Guitar”
which gathers all the celebrities from the guitar's world
since 1800.
