I was born in Genoa on February 3, 1966, my professional development has had various training locations in Europe and the world – with a background of conservative wood restoration – and for twenty years I deal mainly in the restoration studio and the construction of stringed instruments .

Luckily for me I was initiated to this great love from Master Luthier Pio Montanari gave me the first secrets of this ancient craftsmanship.

In the autumn of 2006 during a trip to New York I met the Master Adam Crane, one of the greatest restorers to ancient stringed instruments with which currently collaborate and keep doing training courses,

After this wonderful meeting I got the invitation to return to NY for a more ‘long term and’ so ‘began this exchange between restorer and violin maker violin maker manufacturer.
