Pietro, born and raised in Parma, was originally a classical guitar student at the conservatory of Parma.
Being endowed with an inquisitive mind he has always spent time figuring out how things work which among other things led him to experimentations within guitar making.
Little by little the universe of lutheria unfolded and consequently he too entered the Parma School of Violin Making.
During their 5 years of basic education Pietro and Agnete had the opportunity to study under the guidance of many great craftsmen such as Renato & Elisa Scrollavezza, Andrea Zanrè, Michele Dobner, and Frédéric Noharet.
After the first year of study, they established a ’spare time workshop’, thus enabling themselves to enhance their skills and nurture their talents.
After the graduation in 2019 they took the great plunge and established their own professional workshop.
However they continue to broaden their knowledge attending membership-courses offered by the VSA as well as participating in various masterclasses.
They are mainly inspired by the works of early 20th century violin makers, more specifically Gaetano Sgarabotto and Giuseppe Ornati.
Our workshop is located in Parma, the city of Giuseppe Verdi, Arturo Toscanini and Giovanni Battista Gudagnini.
It was also in Parma that the famous Gaetano Sgarabotto founded the Parma school of violinmaking in 1927. The school was closed down for a period until Maestro Renato Scrollavezza reintroduced the trade in 1975.
He was an active and inspiring tutor until shortly before his death in 2019.
We are dedicated to tread in the footsteps of our masters and will continue working with our base in this beautiful city with its rich history.
