This was inspired by constant relations with the local territory and with its rich cultural texture, with present-day violin makers, the Accademia Walter Stauffer, the university research laboratories housed in the Museum’s building and specialized training institutions such as the International School of Violin Making and CR Forma.

Its celebrity arises from its exceptional state of preservation, with its nearly untouched varnish, as if it had just come out of Stradivari’s workshop. For this reason it is a symbol and a stylistic reference point for violin makers worldwide. This violin is believed to have been purchased by the collector Cozio da Salabue directly from Paolo Stradivari, son of Antonio, in 1775. It was then sold to the trader Luigi Tarisio in 1827: sale details were written inside the top plate by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, who bought the violin in 1855. Tarisio often boasted about owning this outstanding instrument, so much so that the soloist Delphin Alard is supposed to have exclaimed: “Your violin is like a Messiah. Always awaited, never appearing”. It was later acquired by the London firm “W. E. Hill and Sons” and finally, in 1939, entrusted to the Ashmolean Museum, with the restriction of not being moved nor played, in order to be preserved as a model for future violin makers. Today it is displayed in Oxford, at the Ashmolean Museum, next to the prestigious University. Since 1939 it has hardly been moved but in 2016, on the occasion of its 300th anniversary, it is returning exceptionally to Cremona, on exhibition from September 15th to December 18th at the Museo del Violino. in collaborazione con Archivio di Stato di Cremona 1937 Vittoria Alata la e le celebrazioni Stradivariane The 1937 Stradivari Celebrations days relive through the exhibition of the winning instruments of the “Mostra-Concorso Nazionale di Liuteria Moderna”, displayed together with a rich corpus of documents and photographs by Ernesto Fazioli and Ezio Quiresi.

Thanks to four concerts at the Museo del Violino Auditorium it will be possible to appreciate the high artistic and educational value of the Academy. Since 1985 – year of its foundation within the Centro di Musicologia “Walter Stauffer” of Cremona – the Academy has been offering annual post-graduate courses to train string players in the performance of chamber music and solo repertoire. The specialization courses are held by Salvatore Accardo (violin) Bruno Giuranna (viola) Antonio Meneses (cello) Franco Petracchi (double-bass). Moreover, since 2011 the Academy has been promoting a specialization course for string quartets held by the Quartetto di Cremona. Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù violin Stauffer 1734 l’Accademia Stauffer in concerto SEMINARS From Stradivari’s up to present day workshops 300 years of violin making know-how On December 5th, 2012 UNESCO registered the “traditional Cremona violin making know-how” into the Representative List of the World’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Cremonese makers have been building bowed and stringed instruments since the 16th century. An indissoluble link connects late-Renaissance to contemporary workshops. Antonio Stradivari’s method reveals itself not only through his instruments but even more through the artifacts coming from his workshop – wooden moulds, drawings, patterns, tools – currently exhibited at the Museo del Violino. Through the analysis of these materials we can understand each step of the building process used by the master as well as its design phase. The seminars are held by masters from Cremona, winners of the Concorso Triennale, teachers of the Scuola di Liuteria and heirs of a great family tradition: Vinicio Bissolotti, Stefano Conia, Marcello Ive, Dante Fulvio Lazzari, Simeone Morassi, Marco Nolli, Primo Pistoni, Giorgio Scolari, Francesco Toto.

Talking about music means talking about numbers, measures, notes. The universe is music. In her exhibition at the Museo del Violino, Gabriella Benedini pays homage to Sofonisba Anguissola. It is an encounter between two women and two artists. “Relating music to Sofonisba Anguissola” - said Benedini – “means making the deep strings of time reverberate in a place that has become the temple of violin making, a precious place bringing together the creativity, knowledge, manual skills, calculation, elegant precision of our violin makers”. The sculptures of Cremona-born artist Gabriella Benedini metaphorically echo the shape of musical instruments. Gillo Dorfles once wrote about the latter: “Maybe these are not sounds but ultrasounds emitted not by material objects but by immaterial forms conceived, designed and then mysteriously shaped by the artist assembling material he/she has found, handled and bent according to secret aims”. In the “Concerto per Sofonisba” exhibition, the artist – just like a violin maker of old – creates a multitude of imaginary musical instruments that have been enriched, over time, with shapes, with materials and synthesis in the quest for the ideal metamorphosis, with poetic resonance and with the art of the much-admired Sofonisba. curated by Saturday, April 16th Ravi Coltrane “For Turiya Trio” Ravi Coltrane - tenor and soprano sax Brandee Younger - harp Dezron Douglas - double bass Thursday, April 28th Paolo Fresu and Uri Caine Paolo Fresu - trumpet and flugelhorn Uri Caine - piano and Fender Rhodes Sunday, May 8th Take 6 Claude McKnight, Mark Kibble, Joey Kibble David Thomas, Alvin Chea, Khristian Dentley voices Tuesday, May 24th Richard Galliano Quartet “New Jazz Musette” Richard Galliano - accordion and accordina Philip Catherine - guitar Philippe Aerts - double bass Hans Van Oosterhout - drums On the Festival dates the Museo del Violino will be extraordinarily opened until 7.30pm curated by sponsored by MdV friends www.cremonajazz.it Stradivari Quartett Second Edition - April 16th – May 24th Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium - 9.15pm Stradivari Quartett friends of STRADIVARI is an international network launched in 2009 bringing together those who own, use, keep in custody or study masterpieces of Cremona’s classical violin making tradition. Thanks to this project, the Museo del Violino temporarily hosts prestigious instruments made by Stradivari, Amati, Guarneri, Rugeri on loan from public and private collections worldwide. These precious instruments are played by world-renowned soloists in concerts and performances that can be enjoyed only at the Museo del Violino. The musical programs features a great variety of forms and genres, composers, periods and styles. Anna Serova and Filippo Faes will retrace Twentieth-century music with two ravishing sonatas by Rachmaninov and Shostakovich expressing two opposite and complementary feelings of nostalgia. Elegance and taste will echo in the Sonatas for violin and piano by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played by Caterina Demetz and Federica Bortoluzzi. Luca Fiorentini will pay an important homage to Lisa Cristiani and her “Stauffer” Stradivari cello while the double bass, leaving aside its accompanying role, will become the protagonist of two concerts played by Tommaso Bagnati with the Quartetto Guadagnini and Enrico Fagone accompanied by Roberto Paruzzo. The Stradivari Quartett will bring on the Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium stage a whole set of instruments made by the great luthier while Federico Guglielmo and Diego Cantalupi will celebrate a one-time encounter between the Andrea Amati Carlo IX, one of the most ancient violins in the world, and the Sabionari 1679, the only Stradivari guitar that can still be played out of the five remaining ones. ■ Sun 1 - 4pm Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium the sound of Stradivari performance on the Clisbee 1669 violin ■ Thu 5 - 12am | Fri 6 - 12am Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium the sound of Stradivari performance on the Clisbee 1669 violin ■ Sat 7 - 12am | Sun 8 - 4pm Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium the sound of Stradivari performance on the Clisbee 1669 violin ■ Sun 8 - 11am Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium Accademia Stauffer in concerto Quartetto Guadagnini Fabrizio Zoffoli - violin Giacomo Coletti - violin Matteo Rocchi - viola Alessandra Cefaliello - cello Tommaso Bagnati - double bass course held by the Quartetto di Cremona double bass specialization course held by M° Franco Petracchi quartet by Marino Capicchioni winner of the 1937 Violin Making Competition double bass by Marco Nolli winner of the Triennale Violin Making Competition music by G.

The first catalogue, edited by Simone Fernando Sacconi, was published in 1972, and the second one, edited by Andrea Mosconi and Carlo Torresani, appeared 15 years later. In both cases, the catalogues included only the technical files of the 709 objects considered as coming from Stradivari’s workshop that were previously exhibited in the Museo Civico. In this new volume, the complete catalogue of more than 1.300 artifacts that come from the workshops of Antonio Stradivari and Enrico Ceruti will be available for the first time. The accurate historical reconstruction, the study of the previous two catalogues, the paleographic and scientific investigations will cast a new light on this extraordinary heritage that is indissolubly linked to the work of Stradivari and to the traditional violin making craftsmanship recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The sound of Stradivari Performances on historical instruments from the MdV Collections Only at the Museo del Violino it is possible to listen to the sound of Stradivari’s, Amati’s and Guarneri’s magnificent instruments, reliving in the hands of expert soloists, to experience moments of unforgettable poetry. The natural stage for these masterpieces is the Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium, a unique place where architecture tries to “catch” the sound to turn it into images; music, naturally intangible, takes shape, becomes material: the everlasting and the evanescent merge together in an eternal exchange in the place that celebrates the great violin making tradition of Cremona.

A skilled blacksmith, renowned clockmaker, brilliant hydraulic engineer, court mathematician and celebrated inventor, during his lifetime he gained a reputation that spread far beyond his hometown. His name was known in Germany, the Netherlands, England and, above all, in the Iberian Peninsula. Among his most famous inventions are the first gear-cutting machine tool, the cardanic suspension, the first planetarium spring clock (requiring 20 years and 1800 mechanical parts), the first massive water engine in history, built in Toledo, which could lift water to a height of 100 metres along a path of 300 metres, and the first portable spring mills. He also contributed to the Gregorian Calendar Reform, to large-scale astronomic projects, to the construction of automata and to many other achievements in mathematics and hydraulic engineering. The exhibition has been organized in close collaboration with Fundación Juanelo Turriano and with the scientific support of the Centre Alexandre Koyré (EHESS) of Paris, the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science of Berlin, the Patrimonio Nacional de España, the University of California-Davis, the Medici Archive Project (U.S.A.- ITALY) and other prestigious Italian and international institutions. The display will include exhibits from European and US museums, state-of-the-art technological devices and urban paths.

The definition of masterpiece could not be more appropriate: it was its maker who developed, in the mid Sixteenth century, the main features of the violin family that, except for some changes in the proportions of violas and cellos, are still the same today. On the occasion of its 450th anniversary, the Museo del Violino pays homage to this precious instrument and its brilliant maker in the same year when the city of Cremona is to dedicate an exhibition to the engineer and inventor Janello Torriani, also an eminent figure in Sixteenth-century Cremona. ■ Sat 19 - 11am Room 10 Museo del Violino Seminars Andrea Amati and his time Fausto Cacciatori, Diego Cantalupi, Curzio Merlo, Marco Tanzi free entrance ■ Sat 19 - 12am | Sun 20 - 4pm Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium the sound of Stradivari performance on the Clisbee 1669 violin ■ Sun 20 - 11am Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi friends of Stradivari in concerto Antonio Stradivari guitar Sabionari 1679 The sound of Cremonese Renaissance Federico Guglielmo - violin violin Carlo IX 1566ca Andrea Amati Diego Cantalupi - guitar guitar Sabionari 1679 Antonio Stradivari music by B.
