It was in 2006 when I first went in contact with the art of violin making, when I visited a violin maker's workshop. After three years I started to attend the International School of Violin Making "A. Stradivari" in Cremona, and guided by Masters like A. Zambelli, M. Negroni, L. Bellini and D. Scolari I learned to build violins, violas and cellos from the cremonese tradition. After graduating I we
nt to G. Scolari's and L. Bellini's workshops to improve the quality of my instruments, working both on aesthetics and acoustics. Then I moved back to my hometown and I opened my workshop, where I build violins, violas and cellos following the Cremonese tradition, using best selection woods and totally natural varnishes. Most of my instruments are based on Stradivari's models, with particular attention to G. Ornati and F. Garimberti, two of the most famous italian violin makers of the last century.
