Romeo Antoniazzi is considered one of the most important Italian violin makers of the late 19^th. and early 20^th. centuries. Born in Cremona in 1862, Romeo worked first with his father Gaetano, then with Leandro Bisiach and Monzino in Milan. He had an important workshop producing very fine violins, violas and cellos. He also trained a number of great makers like G.Pedrazzini, F.Garimberti and P.Parravincini. This is a truly exceptional and beautiful example of Romeo Antoniazzi’s work with a superb tone, with depth, power and great playability. This violin is accompanied with a Peter Prier certificate.
