In violin making in Venice between history and tradition
Private guided tour to discover ageless artisan traditions
“If I were to look for a word that replaces music, I could only think of Venice”. Thus wrote Nietzsche in 1881 and still today, from singing in gondolas to performances in opera houses, Venice is music at every corner. Visit the workshop of a luthier who has been repairing bowed instruments for more than twenty years. Immerse yourself in the sounds and fragrances of Montenegrin spruce, mountain maples and natural resin paints. Discover the secrets and practical functioning of lutes, the stories behind historical specimens, but above all the techniques to give them a new life. An experience for lovers of music and ancient traditions lived as protagonists.
