Narrate - 敘述：

Born in Florence on 9th December 1966.

1986    He obtained a  Diploma  in violin making at the International School of Musical Instrument Making in Cremona.

Then he moved to Rome and lived there for a few years so he got to know other violin makers from Lazio, the region around Rome .

At that time he was self-employed and designed musical instruments and held musical instrument making courses for the provincial and regional councils of Rome.

A few years later he felt homesick and returned to Tuscany. He moved to Braccagni, a little village near Grosseto, where he is currently working as a professional violin maker in his own workshop. Tuscany is the ideal place where he can draw inspiration from the sea and countryside scenery.

Workshop in Braccagni, Tuscany (Italy).His instruments are made entirely by hand using the lute-making techniques  of the Cremona area, solely with woods selected for lute makers:  Val di Fiemme Spruce for the sounding board, Balcan flamed Sycamore  or Canadian bird eye Maple for the head, back and sides. His work is inspired by the past master luthiers of the Cremona school, Amati, Stradivari, Guarnieri del Gesu’, etc.

He pays special attention to the acoustics, continuously researching into the thickness of the wood and the assembly of the instruments. His instruments have the aesthetic characteristic of  lightness and are easy to use.

The quality of his instruments is very high. They are suitable for soloist professional use with a very powerful tone, great projection, excellent wood and professional craftsmanship.

生於1966年11月9日的佛羅倫斯。

1986年畢業於克里蒙納的國際製琴學校。之後搬去羅馬生活了幾年並在那裡認識了一些製琴師。同時也在那時設立自己的個人工作室。

幾年之後他感到很想家，便回到Tuscany然後搬去Braccagni，一個靠近Grosseto的小村莊，那裡就是他目前製琴以及個人工作室的地點。Tuscany是個充滿靈感的地方，他常常從海洋以及鄉村的景色得到靈感。

工作室在義大利Tuscany的Braccagni，他的製琴技術是來自克里蒙納製作魯特琴的技術，選用的木頭也是來自於製作魯特琴的木材。

他花了很多心思在木材的厚度上面。他的琴有著很獨特的光澤度也便於使用。
