Vittorio Villa
21 Dec 1961, Monza, Italy
I was born in Monza in 1961.
I achieved a Conservatory Diploma in Violin playing in 1987 and performed as a violinist with important Italian orchestras.
I graduated in 1992 at the International School of Violin-making in Cremona.
I was also teacher at the same institute for 8 years. Since then, after more than thirty years, I still work in my workshop in Cremona.
I was finalist in several Italian and international violin making competitions (11° Concorso Città di Bagnacavallo, Triennale degli strumenti ad arco A. Stradivari Cremona 1991 e 1997, Mostra Concorso Comune di Baveno 1995).
Since 1997 I decided to no longer participate in these competitions, due to the unique characteristics of my antique looking instruments that hardly suited the aesthetic rules usually adopted in such violinmaking contests.
I have preferred looking for success directly among musicians and it is with this that many of my instruments are now played by prestigious players, themselves being often part of important orchestras worldwide.
After many years of hard work, as an experienced rather than young violin maker, I consider this as evidence of a successful and fruitful work.
