Overview:
Antonio Stradivari, born in Cremona, Italy, is widely regarded as the greatest violin maker of all time. Over his prolific career, he crafted around 1,100 instruments, with approximately 650 surviving today. His violins, violas, and cellos—especially those from his Golden Period (1700–1720)—are celebrated for their unparalleled tonal brilliance, projection, and beauty. Stradivari’s work evolved through distinct phases, including the Amatisé, Long Pattern, and Golden Periods. His legacy continues to inspire luthiers worldwide, with his instruments often valued in the millions of euros.
