ORIGINSQUADROLEGNO AND CREMONA

Cremona is a city in northern Italy near Milan with a deep culture linked to the world of violin making. The name of Stradivari brings us back centuries in the fascinating world of the handmade creation of musical instruments that are unique in the world and that make Cremona the worldwide reference point for violins. People come from all over the world to learn the art of violin making; some stay, other people leave again spreading and handing this art down.
