To this day in Cremona more than two hundred lute workshops continue the tradition of Antonio Stradivari (d. 1737), Andrea and Nicolò Amati (XVI century), Andrea and Pietro Guarneri (XVII-XVIII centuries).

This year the city of Cremona celebrates “The art of violin making”, a Lombard excellence recognized throughout the world, tenth anniversary of the Unesco recognition in 2012.
