I have been working as a violin and bow maker for the last twenty years, applying all my intellectual and manual skills to the creation of instruments that can best satisfy all the requirements of string quartet musicians.
I made about a hundred instruments – violins, violas, cellos- always trying to solve the many problems involved in violinmaking, with a view to reach the best possible quality, according to concepts and ideas in constant evolution. I personally take care of every proceeding: from the accurate selection of wood and material of excellent quality to the final touch on every instrument.
In 1990, driven by a keen passion I entered the Civica Scuola di Liuteria in Milan, where I learned how to make new instruments under Maestro Luca Primon and restoration under Maestro Gabriele Negri. I graduated in violinmaking in1994.
