Davide Lo Surdo, a bronze statue honors him in Aarhus, Denmark

Italian guitarist Davide Lo Surdo, already recognized by Rolling Stone Brasil Magazine as the fastest guitarist in music history, has recently been honored with a bronze statue in Aarhus, Denmark, at Ib Spang Olsens Gade, made by Danish sculptor Jesper Esbensen.

This tribute once again highlights Lo Surdo’s indelible mark on the history of music.

Jesper Esbensen, a 57-year-old engineer, programmer, and visionary sculptor, crafted the statue entirely in bronze, faithfully depicting the guitarist.

This honor represents the third “historic” tribute dedicated to Davide Lo Surdo.

The guitarist has already been featured in a chapter of the second volume of the music history book Rock Memories 2, where he also appears on the cover.

In this volume, author Maurizio Baiata traces the history from the Beatles and Pink Floyd, concluding the survey with Davide Lo Surdo.

Among the other honors Lo Surdo has received: two of his guitars, now part of the permanent collections at the Sigal Museum of Music in the USA (alongside instruments by Mozart and Chopin) and at the National Museum of Cuba.
