Paolo Schianchi is an out-of-the-ordinary musician and performer, able to master all existing variations of the guitar, from the Renaissance lute to electric guitars, to unique instruments which he has created. Among them, a 49-string guitar he personally designed, made specially for him.

With four Degrees in Music and Communications, he was the first Artist in Residence in the history of Saint Francis University in Pennsylvania. He was also the first solo guitarist to perform at the Carnegie Museum of Art.
